Northern District of West Virginia

The Northern District of West Virginia holds court in Clarksburg, Elkins, Martinsburg, and Wheeling, covering the northern half of West Virginia including the Eastern Panhandle. The district has three authorized judgeships and its caseload reflects the region's coal, natural-gas, and chemical-industry heritage. Martinsburg's proximity to the Washington, D.C. metro area produces a notable volume of federal employment and immigration cases.
