Say uncle!
This temple of justice is a beautiful piece of classic architecture, just across the the Capitol building. If it is not closed with fencing, definitely go up the stairs and check out the detail and beauty of the main door. Views of the Capitol building from the top of the stairs is incredible through the columns. Two beautiful statutes frame the building. Well worth a visit.
Great to visit the Supreme Court if you’re in DC. the entry is not ticketed and there is about 30 min wait to get in
Brianne Nadeau, what is wrong with Border Towns?
It is true, this building the Supreme Court of the United States is the real “Marble Palace”. Excellent architecture and design seen all over. Through wikipedia I learned associate justices make salary of $268, 300 and the chief justice is paid $280,500 per year according to the year 2021. Like any-other county justices are nominated by the president in power and confirmation by U.S Senate. This building is open to the public from 9 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and closed on weekends. There is a Cafeteria and a gift shop inside. Visitors can get seated, there are about 240+ seats available.
Awesome visit, however we were there for a funeral
Great run starts point for a national mall run.
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the federal judiciary of the United States. It has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all U.S. federal court cases, and over state court cases that involve a point of federal law.

God bless our County!
Attended annual bench bar meeting for court appointed attorneys in the ceremonial court room.
We missed the oral arguments but still got to tour the ground. Its the very center of the interpretation of our most important laws and I got the feeling of awe entering here. Many great social decisions were made here. Decisions that make me very proud of the direction we can get to and not the direction we left behind. Even got myself a nice coin from the store.
I’ve been coming to the outside of SCOTUS for years as a place for silent reflection. But never have I gone inside. Wow! What an amazing building.
It’s remarkable to me that this 3rd Branch of US Government was totally overlooked when the US Capitol was built.
The Court had to use dark old basement rooms and former senate chambers for decades! (See attached photos)
And finally when the land and funding was given to this 3rd Co-Equal Branch, it got buried behind the Capitol structure and the mall. Not a prominent placement like the Whitehouse or Congress.

Gorgeous architecture. Very informative museum style displays Highly recommend for families. Impressive sculptures and portrait paintings of justices. High quality food in the cafe
As a college student in the D.C. area, the Court of Appeals was a great study spot. It's very quiet, spacious, and filled with natural lighting. There's a large table on the second floor with a couple chairs that's great for an impromptu meeting or spreading out all your notes to study.
If you're walking north from the mall this isn't a bad place to pass through.
Nice fountain on the property...
