How do I know my hearing is at Peachtree Summit?
Look for 401 W. Peachtree Street, Suite 2600, on your latest notice. Atlanta has a second court at 180 Ted Turner Drive, and Georgia has a third inside the Stewart Detention Center, so the word Atlanta alone settles nothing. EOIR's page, updated October 8, 2026, and checked October 31, 2026, gives this building as the Peachtree Summit Federal Building, phone 404-554-9400. To double-check before the day, follow our guide to finding your hearing, which covers the automated line, 1-800-898-7180.
Is there parking or a MARTA stop near 401 W. Peachtree?
EOIR's page says the court is about one block from the MARTA system at Civic Center Station, and it links to MARTA for schedules. The Ted Turner Drive court uses a different station, Garnett, so do not follow directions meant for that court. Drivers get one line: metered parking near the court and a few fee-based lots. Nothing is listed for parking inside the building, and the page gives no prices. A master calendar hearing with a large group can mean waiting for your name, so think twice before relying on a meter.
Where do I wait once I am in the building?
In the court's own space, not the lobby. EOIR's page tells you to enter through the main lobby and says staying there or near the entrance doors violates building policy, for visitors and attorneys alike. Its next line, addressed to attorneys, says the court's waiting area has space to meet a client before the hearing, so plan to find your lawyer there. This differs from Ted Turner Drive, where EOIR sends attorneys to a pro bono room. EOIR states no ID rule for this court, so bring government ID. The usual metal detector and bag check apply on each visit.
Who is listed here, and where do ICE's copies go?
With 13 immigration judges and one temporary judge, Peachtree has more judges than Ted Turner Drive. EOIR's directory names Joy Lampley-Fortson as Assistant Chief Immigration Judge and Ernest Jay Little as acting Court Administrator; it does not show who has a case. The window runs 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Questions go to AtlantaPeachtree.Immigration.Court@usdoj.gov. Asylum.Clock.Atlanta-Peachtree@usdoj.gov takes only asylum work-permit clock requests, and the court will not respond to anything else sent there. An ICE handout places ICE's attorneys in this building at Suite 2850, not Suite 2600, so check the suite before serving papers ahead of an individual hearing.
Could my hearing be on Webex, and are detention sites listed for this court?
The court page sets no internet-hearing rules. It links to EOIR's directory, which lists a Webex link and phone code for each judge, and says to contact the court if you are unsure how your hearing will be held. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, gives this court only the DHS Atlanta District Office. The Folkston center appears in the Ted Turner Drive row and the Stewart Detention Center in the Stewart row. A date you cannot make is handled by written motion, not a phone message, and you must appear until it is granted; see in absentia orders.
