TheUnited States attorney for the Southern District of New York is thechief federal law enforcement officer in eight contiguous New York counties: the counties (coextensiveboroughs of New York City) ofNew York (Manhattan) andBronx, and the counties ofWestchester,Putnam,Rockland,Orange,Dutchess, andSullivan. Established by theJudiciary Act of 1789, the office represents theUnited States government in criminal and civil cases across the country. TheSDNY handles a broad array of cases, including but not limited to those involvingwhite collar crime,domestic terrorism,cybercrime,public corruption,organized crime, and civil rights disputes.

The Southern District has earned itself the moniker the "Sovereign District of New York".[1][2] Its resources, culture, and accompanyingFBI field office have given the SDNY a reputation for being exceptionally aggressive in its pursuit of criminals.[3][4] Due to its jurisdiction over the New York City borough ofManhattan, the preeminentfinancial center of the United States of America, the office's incumbent is often nicknamed the "Sheriff ofWall Street".[5]
