CJA eVoucher AI Billing Tool
for E.D. Ark. Panel Attorneys

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas covers the eastern half of the state, with courthouse locations in Little Rock (the primary courthouse, Richard Sheppard Arnold United States Courthouse), Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Helena, and Batesville. E.D. Ark. sits within the Eighth Circuit and serves a region that includes the state capital and largest city of Little Rock, the Arkansas Delta cotton-farming communities along the Mississippi River from Helena south through Arkansas County, the northeast Arkansas agricultural and manufacturing communities of Jonesboro, Pine Bluff in the southeast, and the Ozark foothills community of Batesville in the north-central part of the district.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (Little Rock and the I-40/I-30 corridor generate a sustained volume of crack cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl distribution cases, with supply networks flowing from Dallas and Memphis), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, and child exploitation. The Arkansas Delta communities around Helena and Pine Bluff — among the most economically distressed counties in the nation — generate a disproportionate share of drug and firearms cases relative to their population. Little Rock's position as the state capital brings occasional public corruption and government fraud prosecutions. Jonesboro handles cases from the crowfoot delta of northeast Arkansas bordering Tennessee and Missouri across the Mississippi.
