How many many members of the Supreme Court are there?

Answer 1

There are five justices seated on the North Dakota Supreme Court. As of May 2009, the members are:

Chief Justice Gerald W. VandeWalle

Justice Dale V. Sandstrom

Justice Mary Muehlen Maring

Justice Carol Ronning Kapsner

Justice Daniel J. Crothers

Unlike the US Supreme Court, where Justices receive a lifetime appointment, the term of office for a North Dakota Supreme Court judge is only ten years. Positions are filled during the general election of the year in which a particular judge's term ends; however, the North Dakota Constitution empowers the governor to appoint a Supreme Court judge for a term of two years before a general election must be held to fill a vacancy.
