I seriously need your advice.

I have a test to take for a job at the U.S Supreme Court. I'm driving in from out of state and on the letter I received it states "No parking at the U.s Supreme Court". Now I know the traffic can be pretty bad in D.C so my questions are...

Should I drive and if I decide to will I be able to find a parking spot near the court?
or
Should I take a cab?

I'm staying in a hotel that is 20 mins away from the court how early should I leave out?

I'm not familiar with the area so the metro is probably not an option. Any advice is appreciated!!

Don't drive. Take a cab or metro.

Just take metro, it'll be easier and cheaper to use.
Wheres the hotel located?

But if you absolutely can't take metro, then a cab would be your best bet.

If I take a cab how early should I leave out to make it there on time if my test is at 10am?

Depends on where your coming from.

Sorry folks I had to check my email for the hotel location

It's in Landover Hills, MD

I'm only ruling out the Metro because I wouldn't know exactly where the court is at without my GPS system. Will it be easy to find if I take the Metro?

Trust me, you don't wanna catch a cab out from that far.

The best thing to do would be to take the metro.
Orange line from either Landover or New Carrollton stations to Capitol South station, then walk north 2 blocks and the Supreme Court will be at the corner of East Capitol and 1st street NE. You can't miss it theres signage everywhere.

If I'm not mistaken I think your talking about the hotel on Annapolis road, yea in that case take the orange line from Landover to Capitol South.
