About the District

District of Connecticut — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the District of Connecticut covers the entire state and holds sessions at courthouses in New Haven (Richard C. Lee United States Courthouse), Hartford, Bridgeport, and Waterbury. D. Conn. sits within the Second Circuit and serves a state of approximately 3.6 million people. New Haven is the primary location for federal criminal proceedings, while the other courthouses see both civil and criminal sessions as scheduled.

Connecticut's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (the state has seen substantial fentanyl and heroin cases, particularly in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford), firearms offenses, gang prosecutions, financial crimes, and public corruption. The district has an active CJA panel with cases often handled by a smaller group of experienced appointed counsel. Complex, multi-defendant cases and long-running conspiracies are common, meaning panel attorneys frequently accumulate months of time entries before a case resolves. PanelTime™ reads the complete timesheet in a single upload and produces an import-ready eVoucher file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in D. Conn. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool that converts your timesheet to an eVoucher-ready file — eliminating service code lookups and manual entry across all Connecticut federal courthouse locations.
