U.S. Supreme Court - limited public interior access

The United States Supreme Court building at this address houses the Court's chambers, justices' offices, and the official Library of the Supreme Court; while the building is open to the public, access to the courtroom and certain interior spaces is restricted when the Court is not in session or for security and operational reasons. Visitors may attend oral arguments and obtain admission to public galleries on a limited seating basis, and the Court releases private conference votes and internal deliberations only through formal opinion publication. The combination of formal security, limited seating, and the Court's schedule makes inside access more constrained than for many civic buildings.
