Best Answer

There are no constitutional guidelines outlining qualifications for US Supreme Court justices. As a practical matter, however, a Chief Justice would need a minimum of seven years post-secondary (after high school) education -- four for an undergraduate degree, and three more for a Juris Doctorate in law.

Other considerations include the candidate's experience, ideology, stated opinions, record of jurisprudence (if any), background, acceptability to the opposing political party and vocal political interest groups, and other considerations. The President and his (or her) advisors are careful to choose only people they consider well-qualified to assume the role of Chief Justice.
