The Supreme Court of the United States has nine seats. This means there are nine justices who serve on the Court. One justice is the Chief Justice, and the other eight are Associate Justices.

These nine justices work together to review important cases about federal law and the Constitution. They listen to arguments from lawyers and study the law before making a decision.

When the justices decide a case, they vote. The decision of the majority of the justices becomes the final ruling of the Supreme Court.
