| OpenAI. (2026). How long do Supreme Court justices serve? [AI-generated infographic]. OpenAI. Edited by Jennifer Gagliardi |
Supreme Court justices serve for life. This is called a lifetime appointment. When a justice is appointed to the Court, they can serve as long as they choose.
A justice may serve until they retire, resign, or pass away. There is no fixed number of years for their term.
Lifetime service helps justices make decisions based on the law and the Constitution, not politics. It helps keep the Supreme Court independent from political pressure.
