U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States. It is located on First Street NE between East Capitol Street and Maryland Avenue, adjacent to the U.S. Capitol and Library of Congress. Visitors may enter the building from the Plaza doors located on each side of the main steps. A wheelchair accessible ramp is located along Maryland Avenue on the left side of the building.

All visitors must pass through security screening before entering the building. During the months of March - June, visitors should anticipate longer wait times to enter the building due to larger crowds visiting Washington DC.
