About the District

Western District of Tennessee — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee covers the western portion of the state with two divisions — Memphis (Clifford Davis/Odell Horton Federal Building) and Jackson. Memphis handles the overwhelming majority of federal criminal appointments in the district. W.D. Tenn. sits within the Sixth Circuit and serves a region anchored by Memphis, one of the largest cities in the Mid-South and a major logistics and distribution hub on the Mississippi River.

The district's federal criminal docket is heavily weighted toward drug trafficking (Memphis's position as a major distribution hub drives significant narcotics cases, particularly involving heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine), firearms offenses, and gang-related violence prosecutions. Memphis also generates substantial financial fraud and public corruption cases. The CJA panel in W.D. Tenn. is coordinated through the court's CJA office, with the Federal Public Defender's office in Memphis providing panel support and eVoucher guidance. Panel attorneys regularly handle multi-defendant drug conspiracy cases with voluminous time records. PanelTime™ processes any format timesheet in a single upload and delivers an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Tenn. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool that converts your Memphis or Jackson division timesheet to an eVoucher-ready file without manual data entry.
