Visitor Information
The Howard T. Markey National Courts Building stands on Lafayette Square, directly across from the White House. When students walk through our doors, they enter a space where history, innovation, and justice come together.
By stepping into the former headquarters of the National Woman's Party and participating in a mock trial, students experience a side of Washington, DC, that few visitors ever see.
