About the District
The United States Attorney's Office is responsible for representing the federal government in virtually all litigation involving the United States in the Eastern District of California. This includes all criminal prosecutions for violations of federal law, civil lawsuits by and against the government, and actions to collect judgments and restitution on behalf of victims and taxpayers. The Eastern District of California (EDCA) is the eighth most populous of the nation's 94 judicial districts with nearly seven million residents. The District encompasses six large urban areas: Sacramento, Fresno, Bakersfield, Stockton,Vallejo, and Fairfield, and the district extends over 87,000 square miles and includes 34 counties reaching from the Oregon border in the north, down to Bakersfield in the south, from the coastal mountains in the west, to the Nevada border in the east. With this vast area, the EDCA is the tenth largest district in land size, with 45% of the land in the district designated as federal land. The attorneys and staff of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California are proud to represent residents of this large and culturally diverse district. It is the mission and the pledge of this office to represent the United States with determination, professionalism, and integrity. |
