The Supreme Court of the United States is located on First Street NE between East Capitol Street and Maryland Avenue, across from the U.S. Capitol and next to the Library of Congress.

Visitors may enter the building from the doors located to the left (Northwest Door) and right (Southwest Door) of the main steps on the plaza level. An accessible entrance and exit is located along Maryland Avenue on the left side of the building. For more information about building accessibility, please see the Accessibility webpage.

All visitors must pass through security screening prior to entry. During the months of March through June, visitors should anticipate longer wait times to enter the building due to larger crowds visiting D.C.
