U.S. District of Columbia Appellate Courts

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is located in the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building at the east side of Lafayette Square, one block northeast of the White House. The Clerk's Office is located on the 4th floor, room 401. There is a law library also located in the building.

Metro or taxi is the best ways in which to get to the Courthouse because parking is very limited around the White House. By Metro, Take the Metro Blue or Orange Lines to the McPherson Square Station. From the stations platform, follow the signs toward the White House. At street level take Vermont Avenue (bear left at the top of the escalator) in the direction of H Street. Crossing H Street, Vermont Avenue becomes Madison Place. The National Courts Building's main entrance is on the east side of the street half way down the block.

If you decide to drive, the National Courts Building does not have public parking. Some meter parking is available on H, I (Eye), 14th and 15th Streets, and New York Avenue. Public garages or parking lots are located at: 1420 and 1425 New York Avenue; 1401 New York Avenue (enter on H Street near 14th Street); and 815 14th Street. Street parking is particularly difficult to find during the morning rush hour.
