I don't think they're actually used, but one tradition of the Court is to lay out a feather pen for each lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court. These are intended as keepsakes as a reminder of their experience, because feather pens were used when the Supreme Court was first established.
I imagine the justices use modern pens, and most likely have individual personal preferences.
