Supreme Court of the United States

CAPITOL HILL. Home to one of America's most vital institutions, this impressive structure is characterized by its exceptional Neoclassical architecture. While the court term generally runs from October through June, informative exhibits, lectures and movies are presented throughout the year. Since seating is limited, those wanting to attend a court session should arrive early on the Front Plaza. When the Court is not sitting, lectures are presented in the courtroom every hour on the half-hour. N.B. Renovation of the building is expected to continue through 2008, but it will remain open. METRO: Union Station or Capitol South
