About the District

Eastern District of Wisconsin — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin covers the eastern portion of the state and holds court in Milwaukee (the primary courthouse at the Reginald J. Potts United States Courthouse) and Green Bay. E.D. Wis. sits within the Seventh Circuit and serves the most heavily populated region of Wisconsin, including the Milwaukee metropolitan area — the state's largest city — the Lake Michigan shoreline, the Fox Valley manufacturing corridor, and the Door Peninsula communities along Green Bay.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (Milwaukee generates a significant volume of heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine distribution cases, with much of the supply flowing from Chicago through Milwaukee), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, gang-related federal prosecutions, and child exploitation. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago and position on I-94 make it a distribution hub for the broader Great Lakes drug market. Green Bay handles cases from the northeastern Wisconsin counties, including crimes on the Oneida Nation reservation and other tribal lands in the area. CJA panel attorneys in E.D. Wis. work primarily out of Milwaukee but may travel to Green Bay for proceedings in the northern division. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in E.D. Wis. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool for eastern Wisconsin federal panel attorneys — converting Milwaukee and Green Bay timesheets to eVoucher-ready files without manual service code entry.
