About the District

District of New Jersey — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey is a single-district court covering the entire state of New Jersey, with courthouses in Newark (Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building), Trenton, and Camden. D.N.J. is one of the busiest federal courts in the Third Circuit and one of the most active in the Northeast by criminal filings.

The district's federal criminal docket includes a wide range of prosecutions — organized crime (including cases with historical ties to La Cosa Nostra), drug trafficking, public corruption, healthcare fraud, and financial crimes. D.N.J. has a large and active CJA panel with attorneys across all three courthouse locations. Complex, multi-defendant cases with lengthy timesheets are common, and many panel attorneys handle multiple simultaneous appointments. PanelTime™ handles multi-entry timesheets — upload the full sheet and every entry is coded and sorted automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in D.N.J. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers for attorney time and expenses. PanelTime™ — the AI billing tool for CJA panel attorneys — reads your entries and produces an import-ready file, eliminating the most time-consuming part of the voucher process.
