U.S. District of Columbia Appellate Courts

United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is located in the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse at Third Street and Constitution Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C, one block west of the United States Capitol. The Courthouse faces Constitution Avenue where Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues merge. The East Wing of the National Gallery of Art is across the street.

The Court of Appeals maintains an informative website that includes, in addition to the usual legal materials, local restaurant information and the local weather and directions.

Because parking around the immediate Courthouse area is exceedingly limited, taxicab and Metro are the best ways in which to travel there. The courthouse complex is one block south of the Judiciary Square Metro Station on the Red Line, and three blocks east of the Archives/Navy Memorial Metro Station on the Green and Yellow Lines. There are a very few metered spots on the streets surrounding the Courthouse. Getting one of these largely depends upon luck. Several of the larger commercial buildings have public parking garages, although those drivers without monthly parking permits are usually unable to enter past 9am because the garages fill up with commuters. Sometimes, parking can be found on the Mall behind the National Gallery of Art and the East Wing.
