<P> From its opening in 1978 until 2009, the court was housed on the sixth floor of the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building . Since 2009, the court has been relocated to the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse in Washington, D.C. </P> <P> In 2013, a top - secret order issued by the court, which was later leaked to the media from documents culled by Edward Snowden, required a subsidiary of Verizon to provide a daily, on - going feed of all call detail records--including those for domestic calls--to the NSA . </P> <P> Each application for one of these surveillance warrants (called a FISA warrant) is made before an individual judge of the court . The court may allow third parties to submit briefs as amici curiae . When the U.S. Attorney General determines that an emergency exists, the Attorney General may authorize the emergency employment of electronic surveillance before obtaining the necessary authorization from the FISC, if the Attorney General or their designee notifies a judge of the court at the time of authorization and applies for a warrant as soon as practicable but not more than seven days after authorization of such surveillance, as required by 50 U.S.C. § 1805 . </P> <P> If an application is denied by one judge of the court, the federal government is not allowed to make the same application to a different judge of the court, but may appeal to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review . Such appeals are rare: the first appeal from the FISC to the Court of Review was made in 2002 (In re Sealed Case No. 02 - 001), 24 years after the founding of the court . </P>
