How do you take the LIRR to Brooklyn Federal courthouse?

Answer 1

The federal courthouse in Brooklyn is US District Court East, at 225 Cadman Plaza East.

Which subway route to take depends on where you're coming from. You can take the F (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) to York Street, the A or C (of the A-C-E, the blue line) to High Street, the 2 or 3 (of the 1-2-3, the red line) to Clark Street, the N or R (of the N-R-Q, the yellow line) to Court Street, or the 4 or 5 (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line) to Borough Hall.

I have listed the stations in descending order. Each one is further south than the last (i.e., the F to York Street is the furthest north, then the A or C to High Street-Brooklyn Bridge, then the 2 or 3 to Clark Street, etc.)

The FThe F to York Street will drop you off on Jay Street, near the corner of Jay and Sands Streets, on the west side of the Manhattan Bridge.

Walk north on Jay Street to Prospect Street, turn left, and walk west on Prospect Street to Cadman Plaza East. Then turn left and walk south on Cadman Plaza East to 225.

The A or CThe A or C to High Street will drop you off at Cadman Plaza East, which forms the eastern border of Brooklyn War Memorial Park. Walk south on Cadman Plaza East to 225. The 2 or 3The 2 or 3 to Clark Street will drop you off at the corner of Clark and Henry Streets. Walk two blocks east on Clark Street to Cadman Plaza West, then walk straight east through the park to Cadman Plaza East. The address 225 Cadman Plaza East is pretty much exactly where Clark Street is. The N or RThe N or R to Court Street will drop you off at the corner of Clinton and Montague Streets. Walk half a block east on Montague Street to Cadman Plaza West, then walk north on Cadman Plaza West to Clark Street, then turn right at Clark Street and walk straight across the park to 225 Cadman Plaza East.

Note: the N train only stops at Court Street at night (11 PM to 5:30 AM) when the R isn't running. You CANNOT take the N unless you're traveling between 11 PM and 5:30 AM.

The 4 or 5The 4 or 5 to Borough Hall will drop you off on Joralemon Street, between Court and Adams Streets. Walk half a block west to Court Street, turn right, and walk north on Court Street until it becomes Cadman Plaza West, just a block or two north of Joralemon Street. Keep walking north on Cadman Plaza West to Clark Street, then turn right at Clark Street and walk straight east across the park to 225 Cadman Plaza East.
