Under the assumption that you are inquiring as to what are the requirements to serve on the Supreme Court I have provided an answer. Other than the fact that the supreme court justice must be appointed by the president, There are in fact None! Under article II (Presidential Powers) clause 2 (advice and consent) of the United States Constitution the President has been given the Power to appoint Supreme Court Judges. The text reads as follows: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. There are no prior qualifications necessary to serve on the Supreme Court. There are no restriction on age, race, or sex. You do not have to be a member of a state bar, or even a lawyer for that matter.
