118:. The links are quite "extricable" -- they are well-defined and breakable. I agree that some pages list the US Attorney. But that doesn't mean the US Attorney is an attribute of the Court, which is what placement in the Infobox implies. So, I guess...I am not convinced. But we should probably seek another opinion? I suppose perhaps on

citizen in a particular district will be prosecuted by that district's U.S. Attorney. While you are correct they are not the same office, they are inextricably linked. Many if not most of the pages for the Courts already list the U.S. Attorney. I just thought it would be better if they were included in the infobox.

My thought was that
District Courts and U.S. Attorneys are assigned to exactly the same districts; they are coterminous. Any suit filed against the federal government in any district court will be defended by that district's U.S. Attorney or his/her office. Any suit filed by the government against a

Here's a discussion from
Nevermore27's talk page I'm moving here. It's my intent to revert the recent addition of US Attorney to this infobox, because a US Attorney is not part of, nor an attribute of, a federal district court. But I wanted to give people the opportunity to disagree and discuss.

They are indeed coterminous. I'm not sure it's true that any suit against the government will be defended by that district's US Attorney; while an AUSA almost always enters an appearance, it's fairly common for lead counsel to be from other parts of the DOJ. In any event, they are linked, but

Hi, Nevermore27! I see you recently editing a whole slew of district court articles with "(added U.S. Attorney to infobox)." Can you justify this? The United States
Attorney for a district is not part of its Court. (It's often true that they have an office in the same building as the Court or

Never mind. It appears that someone else has already found and implemented (on every district court page I've checked, at least) a much more elegant solution than any I had in mind. (See, for example,
