CJA eVoucher AI Billing Tool
for N.D.N.Y. Panel Attorneys

The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York covers the vast upstate region of New York — everything north of Westchester County and east of Buffalo — with courthouse locations in Albany (the primary courthouse, James T. Foley United States Courthouse), Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton, and Plattsburgh. N.D.N.Y. sits within the Second Circuit and serves one of the largest geographic districts in the Northeast, encompassing the state capital in Albany, the Erie Canal corridor cities of Utica and Syracuse, the Southern Tier communities of Binghamton, the Mohawk Valley, the Adirondack region, and the Lake Champlain border communities of Plattsburgh along the Canadian frontier.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (the I-87 Northway corridor from New York City to Canada is a major heroin and fentanyl distribution route that generates significant cases in the Albany and Plattsburgh areas), firearms offenses, financial fraud, public corruption, child exploitation, and crimes arising from the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation and other Tribal lands in the North Country. The Canadian border at Plattsburgh and Massena generates federal criminal jurisdiction over smuggling cases — both drug trafficking north-south and contraband tobacco brought south from Canadian sources. N.D.N.Y. also includes jurisdiction over the Oneida Indian Nation, the largest employer in Oneida County.
