United States District Court for the District of New Jersey

The majority of federal cases are commenced in the U.S. District Courts. These are known as courts of “original jurisdiction,” thus in most matters they function as trial, rather than appellate, tribunals. Any case or cause of action based on federal law may be brought in a U. S. district court. Lawsuits in these courts are often between private parties, but they may also involve the U.S. government. Alleged violations of federal crimes are brought by the U.S. Department of Justice in these courts. District courts are sometimes favored by plaintiffs because they opportunity to have their cases tried before a jury.

United States Attorney Office – District of New Jersey

In cases where the U.S. government is a party to the litigation, the government is represented by attorneys from the Department of Justice or the Office of the United States Attorney for the district in which the court is located. The U.S. Attorney’s office prosecutes all criminal and civil cases brought by the Federal government and defends the United States when it is a party in a civil case. This enforcement authority includes:

• Prosecution of criminal cases brought by the Federal government;
• Prosecution and defense of civil cases in which the United States is a party; and
• Collection of debts owed the Federal Government which are administratively uncollectible.
