CIVIL DIVISION
<a name="skip"></a>
In the thousands of cases on the civil docket in the Southern District of New York, approximately 50 Civil Division Assistant United States Attorneys represent the interests of the United States in litigation in which the United States is a plaintiff. Our Civil Division both enforces the law and represents the United States when it is a defendant in legal proceedings.
Civil litigation on behalf of the United States, its departments, agencies, and employees, encompasses many things. Civil Division cases have included such areas as: administrative, bankruptcy, civil rights, commercial, constitutional, environmental, fraud, immigration, tax, and tort. Because of the sheer diversity of federal law, the cases that the Civil Division brings, and those it defends, reflect the significant issues of our time.
