Welcome to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Eastern District has 25 Article III Judges  and 15 Magistrate Judges. The district comprises the counties of Kings, Nassau, Queens, Richmond, and Suffolk and concurrently with the Southern District, the waters within the counties of Bronx and New York. The Eastern District has a population of eight million people.

The main courthouse, located at 225 Cadman Plaza East, is in the civic center of Brooklyn and is directly adjacent to Brooklyn Heights, the first Historic District named as such in the City of New York. Only a short distance from the courthouse's current location is the site of Gen. George Washington's escape to Manhattan during the American Revolution, an escape that ensured a later victory for his army. Cadman Plaza, itself was named after Samuel Parkes Cadman, a popular Brooklyn Minister in the early twentieth century who was one of the first to use radio as means to reach his audience.

The court has completed its expansion and modernization. The low-rise wing of the complex has been removed and a larger facility, designed by the world-renowned architect, Cesar Pelli, the designer of the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the World Financial Center, has been completed to meet the growing mission of the Judiciary in its service to the public.

The Divisional Office is located in Central Islip, Suffolk County, on Long Island. It is situated near Hecksher State Park, the Connetquot River State Park Preserve, Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park, and the Caleb Smith State Park Preserve. The Courthouse in Central Islip was designed by Richard Meier with ground breaking on July 22, 1997. Construction completed in the Summer of 2000. It is the second largest courthouse in the country and the largest structure on Long Island. The courthouse accommodates the District Court, the Bankruptcy Court, Pretrial Services and Probation Department as well as the US Marshal's Service, US Attorney's Offices and several  State Court offices.
