About the District

District of the Virgin Islands — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the District of the Virgin Islands is a territorial federal court with two divisions: the St. Croix Division (headquartered in Christiansted on St. Croix) and the St. Thomas Division (headquartered in Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas). D.V.I. sits within the Third Circuit and serves the U.S. Virgin Islands — a group of Caribbean islands in the Lesser Antilles that includes St. Croix (the largest by land area), St. Thomas (the most populous and the seat of the territorial government), and St. John. The U.S. Virgin Islands were purchased from Denmark in 1917 and are unincorporated U.S. territory, meaning residents are U.S. citizens but do not have full voting rights in federal elections. The islands' economy is driven by tourism, rum production (at one of the Western Hemisphere's largest rum distilleries on St. Croix), and financial services.

The district's federal criminal docket reflects the Virgin Islands' position in the eastern Caribbean — a crossroads for drug trafficking moving north and west from South American and Caribbean production regions. Cocaine and marijuana trafficking through the islands' ports and waters are significant components of the federal criminal docket, as are firearms offenses and fraud. The St. Thomas Division handles the majority of criminal matters due to St. Thomas's larger population and role as the territorial capital and primary port. St. Croix — larger geographically and home to the island's working-class communities including a significant population of Puerto Rican descent — generates its own volume of federal criminal cases. PanelTime™ reads any timesheet format and converts the full record to an eVoucher-ready file automatically.

CJA panel attorneys in D.V.I. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. PanelTime™ is the AI billing tool for Virgin Islands federal panel attorneys — converting timesheets from St. Thomas and St. Croix to eVoucher-ready files without manual service code entry.
