Brooklyn Federal Court no longer the busiest
Court does more with less
A report by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts shows that while Brooklyn may not have the busiest court in the district, its federal judges have a heavier caseload compared to other federal judges within the district and dispose of cases at a faster rate.
Released last week, the report revealed that in 2014 (fiscal year ending Sept. 30), New York federal courts saw a total of 27,589 case filings, with Eastern District courts (including Brooklyn and Central Islip) taking 9,050 cases.
Southern District courts (including Manhattan and White Plains), however, had the highest filing rate in the state with 13,318 case filings for 2014.
