There is no fixed limit on the number of terms a justice can serve on the US Supreme Court. Justices are appointed for life, which means they serve until retirement, death, resignation, or impeachment.
The US Supreme Court seats only one Chief Justice at a time; the other eight are Associate Justices.The current Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., is only the seventeenth to serve on the US Supreme Court.

The period of time a justice serves on the Court is known as his or her tenure. US Supreme Court justices receive lifetime appointments that may only terminate by resignation, retirement, death, or impeachment and conviction.
No. Article III of the US Constitution states that judges and justices in the federal Judicial Branch serve "during good behavior," meaning they receive a lifetime appointment that can only be revoked if the justice commits an impeachable offense. A Supreme Court justice may be removed from the bench involuntarily if he or she is impeached by the US House of Representatives and convicted at trial in the Senate.
The Constitution states that Justices "shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour." This means that the Justices hold office as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment. Source: The Supreme Court website.
There are nine justices on the US Supreme Court: one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. Most cases reach the Court under its appellate jurisdiction. The only cases the Supreme Court hears under original (trial) jurisdiction are disputes between the states.
