LIST OF JUSTICES


The following table lists the terms of all Supreme Court justices since 1789 placed in the order in which the justices took the judicial oath of office and thereby started their term of office. Two Justices, Robert H. Harrison and Edwin Stanton , were appointed to the court but never served and therefore are not listed. Robert H. Harrison was one of the original justices appointed to the court by George Washington , but declined to serve. Edwin Stanton was appointed by Ulysses S. Grant , but died before taking office, taking the oath on his death bed.
  • The names of Justices who are active ( As Of Justice Samuel Alito's accession to the Court on January 31 , 2006 ) are in bold.

  • Justices who received a Recess Appointment to the Supreme Court have an asterisk(---) following their name. All but one of these recess appointments went on to be confirmed by the Senate during the following session of Congress.

  • John Rutledge and Charles Evans Hughes each resigned from the Supreme Court and were later reappointed as Chief Justice. Thus, they are listed twice below, once for each term on the Supreme Court.
