Location
As the name implies, the station is located near the Arlington County government and court complex, with its main entrance at the intersection of Wilson Boulevard and Uhle Street.
History
The station opened on December 1, 1979.[4] Its opening coincided with the completion of approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) of rail west of the Rosslyn station and the opening of the Clarendon, Virginia Square and Ballston stations.[4] Presently, there are long-range plans to create a new entrance for the station at its western end. These plans envision an elevator that would connect the western end of the platform to a location near the corner of Clarendon Boulevard and Barton Street.

Station layout
This station is the third deepest station on the Orange and Silver Lines behind L'Enfant Plaza and Rosslyn. Its platforms are located approximately 80 feet (24 m) below street level.[5] Similar to most Red Line north of Cleveland Park, Court House contains an upper underpass mezzanine 20 feet (6.1 m) below the street level. A long bank of escalators connects the upper mezzanine to the lower mezzanine. The platforms are located below the mezzanine.
Court House is one of the few Washington Metro stations outside the Red Line that contain deep-bored, elliptical escalator banks. Unlike most Metro stations, Court House station has four exits.
