The Urban Assembly is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating small, public, college-preparatory high schools that provide high quality education to students who would otherwise attend large, factory style, under-performing schools.

Red Hook Community Justice Center
Launched in June 2000, the Red Hook Community Justice Center is the nation's first multi-jurisdictional community court. Operating out of a refurbished Catholic school in the heart of a low-income Brooklyn neighborhood, the Justice Center seeks to solve neighborhood problems like drugs, crime, domestic violence and landlord-tenant disputes. At Red Hook, a single judge hears neighborhood cases that under ordinary circumstances would go to three different courts—Civil, Family and Criminal. The goal is to offer a coordinated, rather than piecemeal, approach to people's problems.

The Eastern District has 14 Active Judges, 10 Senior Judges, and 16 Magistrate Judges. It comprises the counties of Kings, Nassau, Queens, Richmond, and Suffolk and concurrently with the Southern District, the waters within the counties of Bronx and New York.
