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.

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.

[5] Similar to most Red Line stations north of Cleveland Park, Court House contains an upper underpass mezzanine 20 feet (6.1 m) below the street level.

A knockout panel exists on the far end of the station vault to allow construction of a second mezzanine and series of exits in the future.

Court House is one of the few Washington Metro stations outside the Red Line that contain deep-bored, elliptical escalator banks.
