Question: How many Supreme Court Justices Are There? Answer: Currently, there are nine Supreme Court justices on the United States Supreme Court. The number of justices is set by Congress and has varied from five to 10. There have been nine justices since 1869. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt attempted to add six more justices to the Supreme Court.
As of 2014, there have been 112 judges in the U.S. Supreme Court's history. One hundred and eight of the justices have been men. So far, four women either have served or are currently serving. The court has been around since 1790 and was first held in New York City. The Supreme Court didn't have a permanent home until 1935. Although the Supreme Court was established by the U.S. Constitution, no laws were drawn up to determine how many justices should preside over the court. In 1789, the Judiciary Act went into effect and stated that there would be six judges on the court, but that number was increased to seven in 1807.
