General Guidelines

  • An Attorney Lounge may be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, for use between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM on court business days. Preference will be given to attorneys/firms participating in a TRIAL. In order to accommodate multiple trials and opposing counsel, reservations are restricted to one room per side.
  • The attorney who reserved the lounge or their designated representative must sign for their lounge key at the Intake Help Desk, Room 4209. Keys must be returned to the Help Desk by the end of each daily reservation, not later than 4:00 PM. When a reserved room is going to remain in use after 4:00 PM, the room may be unlocked to allow entry, however the key must be turned into the Clerk's office before 4:00 PM daily.
  • To make a new reservation, change or cancel an existing reservation, submit a Reservation/Change/Cancellation request form (click HERE) via e-mail attachment, to AttorneyLounge@ded.uscourts.gov . The reservation form may be completed as a fill-in form and be saved in pdf format under a name that you select. You will receive a confirmation e-mail from a member of the Intake/Help Desk staff.
  • Reservations may be made up to six months in advance, and should be amended if changes are required, or cancelled if no longer needed.
  • An attorney lounge may also be used without a reservation on an "as available" walk-in basis.
  • Boxes, papers, perishable food items and/or personal belongings must be removed at the end of each day. There are no accommodations for overnight storage.
