About the District

Western District of Virginia — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia covers the mountainous western half of the state and holds court in five cities — Roanoke (the primary courthouse), Abingdon, Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg. W.D. Va. sits within the Fourth Circuit. The district spans an enormous geographic area from the Shenandoah Valley in the north to the coalfields of southwest Virginia along the Kentucky and Tennessee borders, covering rural Appalachian communities, college towns, and mid-sized cities across the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains.

The district's federal criminal docket is heavily influenced by opioid-related drug trafficking — W.D. Va. has been one of the most intensely affected districts in the country during the opioid crisis, generating a sustained volume of pill mill, fentanyl, and heroin prosecutions, particularly in the Abingdon and Roanoke divisions. The docket also includes firearms offenses, financial fraud, child exploitation, and crimes on the Blue Ridge Parkway and other federal properties. CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Va. regularly travel significant distances across the district's five divisions. PanelTime™ handles any timesheet format — including mileage-heavy records — and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in W.D. Va. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool for western Virginia federal panel attorneys — converting timesheets across all five W.D. Va. divisions to eVoucher-ready files without manual data entry.
