South Dakota is one federal judicial district split into four divisions — Northern, Southern, Central, and Western — each made up of a listed set of counties, with its own city where court is held.

This section sets up the federal court divisions inside South Dakota, which forms a single judicial district with four divisions. (1) The Northern Division covers a listed group of counties (including Brown, Codington, and Walworth, among others), and court for this division is held in Aberdeen. (2) The Southern Division covers a separate listed group of counties (including Minnehaha and Lincoln, among others), with court held in Sioux Falls. (3) The Central Division covers another listed group of counties (including Hughes and Stanley, among others), with court held in Pierre. (4) The Western Division covers a final listed group of counties (including Pennington and Custer, among others), with court held in Deadwood and Rapid City. The section's substance is the assignment of each county to one of these four divisions and the designation of the city where each division's court sits; it does not add any other rules.
