Deductions & credits

You have not mentioned whether you are a W-2 employee or if you work as an independent contractor but your question is not being posted from the Self-Employed software so it appears more likely that you are a W-2 employee.

 

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you are an independent contractor your commute to or from the office is not deductible but you may be able to put the mileage/expense to the second location during the workday  on the days you go to court on your Schedule C with your other business expenses.
