After the bifurcation of Ganjam & Puri districts on 10th June, 1957, the reorganized Judgeship came to be known as Ganjam. In 1984, Phulbani District was carved out. On 2nd October, 1992, a new district, viz. Gajapati, was constituted, and the name of the Judgeship was changed to Ganjam-Gajapati. On 30th July, 2011, when Gajapati District was separated from this Judgeship, it came to be known as Ganjam Judgeship. The headquarters of Ganjam is located at Berhampur.
68 different courts are functioning in the district with outlying stations at Sanakhemundi, Digapahandi, Chhatrapur, Sorada, Bhanjanagar, Buguda, Kodala, Aska, Patrapur, Purusottampur, Hinjlicut, Seragada, Kabisuryanagar, Polasara, Khallikote, and Jagannathprasad. The District Court is functioning in an old building at Berhampur, which was constructed in 1948 with 8 courtrooms. In 1948, another building housing 10 courtrooms, was constructed adjacent to the old building.The Regional Judicial Academy, Ganjam, at Berhampur imparted regular training to the Judicial Officers and ministerial staff posted in the cluster districts of Ganjam, Gajapati, Nayagarh, and Kandhamal.
