Do you have to be some type of judge before becoming a US Supreme Court justice?
No. There are no constitutional or statutory requirements that a US Supreme Court justice be a judge before being appointed to the Court. Over the past 40 years, however, judicial experience had become an informal requirement. Elena Kagan, who was confirmed to the Court on Saturday, August 7, 2010, is the first justice since William Rehnquist with no prior service on the bench. A total of 41 justices (10 Chief Justices and 31 Associate Justices) of the 112 seated (36.6%) had no judicial experience before joining the US Supreme Court.
