ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION
The United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York represents the United States and its agencies in civil and criminal litigation before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Southern District of New York encompasses New York, Bronx, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester counties. Our main offices are located at One St. Andrew's Plaza, adjoining Foley Square in lower Manhattan, and house the Executive Staff and the Criminal Division. Our Civil Division is located a few blocks away at 86 Chambers Street, and our White Plains Division, serving the northern counties of the District, is located in White Plains, New York. In total, the Office has over 220 Assistant United States Attorneys in the three Divisions, supported by our Administration Division and support staff. Assistants are responsible for their cases from inception through trial and appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and quickly become experienced trial and appellate lawyers. Assistants quickly progress to handling complex and sophisticated investigations and prosecutions in cases that are frequently of national and international significance.
