About the District

Eastern District of Virginia — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia — known informally as the "Rocket Docket" for its reputation as one of the fastest-moving federal courts in the country — covers the eastern portion of Virginia including the Washington D.C. suburbs, Richmond, and the Hampton Roads area. The court operates four divisions: Alexandria (Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse), Richmond, Norfolk, and Newport News.

E.D. Va.'s criminal docket reflects its unique geography. The Alexandria Division handles some of the most sensitive federal prosecutions in the country — including national security, espionage, and cybercrime cases tied to the district's proximity to federal agencies and intelligence community contractors in Northern Virginia. Richmond and Norfolk handle significant volumes of drug trafficking, firearms, and fraud cases. CJA panel attorneys in E.D. Va. often work under strict deadlines driven by the district's fast scheduling practices. PanelTime™ reduces the billing turnaround time significantly — upload your timesheet after a case closes and your eVoucher import file is ready in seconds.

CJA panel attorneys in E.D. Va. submit compensation through the national eVoucher platform using CJA-20 vouchers. The court's CJA office, supported by Operations Manager Kathy Hancock, manages panel administration and eVoucher support. PanelTime™ works with both CJA-20 and CJA-21 voucher types.
