District of Colorado

The District of Colorado, headquartered at the Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse in Denver, serves the entire state with seven authorized judgeships. Denver's growing technology and energy sectors generate significant patent, securities, and oil-and-gas litigation, while the district also handles substantial federal public-lands and water-rights matters across the Rocky Mountain region. Colorado's numerous federal agencies — including NOAA, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory — produce a distinctive federal-employment litigation docket.
