CJA eVoucher AI Billing Tool
for W.D.N.C. Panel Attorneys

The United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina covers the western third of the state, with courthouse locations in Charlotte (the primary courthouse, Charles R. Jonas Federal Building), Asheville, Statesville, and Bryson City. W.D.N.C. sits within the Fourth Circuit and spans one of the most geographically varied districts in the Southeast — from Charlotte, the largest city in the Carolinas and a major financial-services hub, through the Piedmont foothills around Statesville, west to the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains communities of Asheville and the far-western Cherokee country around Bryson City, home to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

The district's federal criminal docket reflects its geography. Charlotte generates the highest volume of financial fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, and organized crime prosecutions of any city in the Carolinas — the city's status as a major banking center (Bank of America is headquartered here) produces sophisticated federal fraud cases alongside the standard drug and firearms docket. The Asheville division handles cases from the western mountain counties, including crimes on the Blue Ridge Parkway (a National Park Service unit) and the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. Bryson City handles the federally recognized tribal land jurisdiction of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
