Areas we cover
Which courthouse, not which suburb
Several metro cities straddle county lines. Where the incident happened decides the district attorney, the plea practices and the diversion options, and those differ more than people expect.
Four judicial districts, four sets of habits
Colorado prosecutes through judicial districts rather than cities. These are the four we appear in most, plus the federal court.
| District | Counties covered | Main courthouse |
|---|---|---|
| Second Judicial District | City and County of Denver | Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse, Denver |
| First Judicial District | Jefferson and Gilpin counties | Jefferson County Combined Courts, Golden |
| Seventeenth Judicial District | Adams and Broomfield counties | Adams County Justice Center, Brighton |
| Eighteenth Judicial District | Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties | Arapahoe County Justice Center, Centennial |
| U.S. District Court | District of Colorado, statewide | Alfred A. Arraj Courthouse, Denver |
