About the District

Eastern District of New York — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York covers Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau County, and Suffolk County — a jurisdiction of more than eight million people. The court operates two courthouses: the main courthouse in Brooklyn at 225 Cadman Plaza East, and a satellite courthouse in Central Islip serving Long Island. E.D.N.Y. and S.D.N.Y. together form one of the most active federal court complexes in the nation.

E.D.N.Y.'s criminal docket is substantial and varied, with longstanding CJA panels in both Brooklyn and Long Island. The district has a notable history of high-profile prosecutions involving organized crime, drug trafficking, terrorism, human trafficking, and immigration fraud. CJA panel attorneys in E.D.N.Y. frequently handle complex, multi-defendant cases with lengthy timesheets spanning many months. PanelTime™ is designed for exactly this — upload the full timesheet and every entry is coded and sorted automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in the Eastern District submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers for attorney fees and expenses. The AI billing tool in PanelTime™ assigns service codes from your descriptions so you spend less time on administrative billing and more time on your cases.
