# 19 - The Highest Court in the Land
The United States Supreme Court is a symbol of justice in our country but there may be more to the name than meets the eye. Supreme Court Judges are appointed for life and many reports spending long hours within the confines of the Supreme Court Building. We most often hear of what takes place in the Court Room however many of the amenities are not often reported. On the fourth and fifth floors of the Supreme Court Building are offices, sleeping quarters, a full gym and fitness center as well as a full-sized basketball court. This gives new meaning to The Highest Court in the Land.
