I came for jury duty and although I didn't get selected (bummer...lol), I really enjoyed my time here. Since it was kind of an all day event. I had a chance to walk around and tour....well wander the building. There are definitely a lot of changes and upgrades made to this building for the better. The newly renovated jury duty space and lounge is a great addition to this courthouse building. And, definitely a step up from the old, archaic wood and dated spaces and rooms of the past. Here for jury duty. Kind of an all day thing, so was able to look around a little. The 4th level, where the potential jurors wait, is an open space with a glass ceiling and a little viewing garden area. The juror lounge and waiting room is located on this floor. It is a large wide-open space that is very comfortable and filled with plenty of chairs and a few tables to wait out the time. There''s also plenty of outlets around and WiFi to stay connected while waiting your time out as a Juror or waiting to be called. This is perfect for those needing to handling work while waiting or buy the time. And, believe me you will have plenty of time to spare as part of your jury duty. So I advise that you bring something to read, your phone, iPad or even a laptop....as to these items are allowed. There's also little cafeteria downstairs on C level that has some decent coffee, desserts, and some handhelds/quiches. It has a Starbuck's vibe and more charging areas/wall outlets there for use. In all, a nice building and very accommodating for those having to take time out of their day for jury service duties. Not that I'm interested in coming back....I still give this place a Thumbs Up for the overall experience today. Yelp Elite Tip: Arrive early! The parking is a beast and hard to find. Also, no photography in the building and no phone calls in the waiting room....ignore my pictures taken...teehee ;) Security is monitor the floors and there are cameras everywhere!

From the assistance desk near the entryway and security to get into the building, everyone has been incredibly helpful.

I truly appreciate the friendly and professional staff especially yesterday !

I gotta show this building some love. I came here for jury duty, and I must say that I had a really…read morepleasant experience. The building has changed from the days of the past and has been renovated on the upper floors. The main floor still looks the same as I remember coming here for jury duty years ago, but again I was impressed. I walked in and was checked-in by security and checked into the building really fast. Upon reporting for jury duty, I couldn't help but notice How efficient the check in process was and as soon as I finished checking in, we were all provided an orientation on how the day would proceed. Another great addition to this building is the juror lounge. The lounge was a big, spacious and had plenty of seating. There were Wi-Fi connections throughout the room for you to stay connected as well as electrical outlets just in case if you needed to do anything remote. This actually was a plus for those who were taking time out during their busy workday or needed to connect via laptop/iPad. While waiting to be called for jury duty, I did get a chance to wander around the building and noticed that there were additional amenities available for you such as an information center, soda-snack vending machines, and a cafeteria-eatery on the lower level. So things have definitely changed in this building for a better, including the security. Back in the day with a whole 'nother story. The security team was top notch, and we're monitoring floors throughout while I was there. In all a great experience. Not the kind of place I would like to visit frequently....lol.... But it serves an important purpose and the added amenities made my visit at least enjoyable.

Wow, there is so much history here! It felt unreal to stand in the courtroom. I'd have loved to visit on a day when you can hear a case.

Cool that they have a cafeteria onsite as well - apparently affordable and delicious!

Here is what I have encountered when dealing with the DC Court of Appeals- *Byzantine regulations *Difficult to ever reach anyone by phone (impossible by email) *There is little to no accountability for the terrible rules and poor customer service Let me give a concrete example: As of 2014, all 50 states let you take your 2-day bar exam on a laptop. DC, however, still refused to allow bar takers to use a laptop. They would, however, let you bring in your own typewriter so long as it met certain standards (it couldn't be too high-tech and have electronic memory). This is how outdated and out of touch this Court of Appeals is in regulating the profession.

I show up with my original and six copies and they say "you also need six copies of the court order" - even though it's not in the instructions. They have a copy machine that only takes $1 bills - no modern higher levels of currency or debit/credit cards. I complete my task and they say "you've not stapled this correctly as it should be". So I do that. They say "you haven't filled out this form correctly". So I do that. The they say - oh you only needed an original and six copies of the petition, as for the motion you just need the original and THREE copies. And you need to file the motion with the appellee, while we file the petition with the appellee. WTF. (All things I would have done beforehand had the instructions accurately reflected the requirements. ) I've been here an hour now when it should have just taken seconds to drop off the materials.

The Lincoln Memorial, at the moment, is the furthest memorial west of The National Mall (with the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial, currently under construction, being adjacent to and slightly further back along Constitution Avenue. The memorial is a little over 100 years old, but you couldn't tell considering its relatively pristine condition due to use of marble and granite in its construction. The stairs of the Lincoln Memorial is the platform of the iconic MLK "I Have A Dream" speech. Normally you can find visitors and tourists sitting on the stairs of the memorial. The Lincoln Memorial is a feature itinerary stop for tour groups, many of which normally a minimum of 25 people. The memorial is in the final stages of completing its $69 million project of a museum and exhibit underground, giving more of a story and construction history of the memorial. The best time to visit the memorial is at sunset and night when it is illuminated and the top of the stairs presents a photo op for the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and U.S. Capitol in the backdrop.
