In 2005, the average age of the Supreme Court justices was 70 years; in May 2010, the average age is a substantially lower, at 64.1 years, due to the more recent appointment of younger justices - Chief Justice Roberts (55), Justice Samuel Alito (60), Justice Sonia Sotomayor (56), and Justice Elena Kagan (50).

The justices' median age is 61.

Answer 5

There is no constitutionally required minimum age for US Supreme Court justices; however, the President and Senate are careful to select justices with appropriate education and experience, so the average age of appointment is late 40s to early 50s.

Answer 6

They vary, because they only need to be appointed by the President and approved by Congress to become Justices. However, keep in mind that these justices usually have at least served a decent career as a lawyer and a judge before they can even be considered for the supreme court- so they're usually a bit older- like 50s or 60s.
