The Supreme Court of Canada has nine justices - the Chief Justice of Canada and eight puisne (lower ranking) justices. The justices are chosen by the governor in council, in effect the Prime Minister of Canada. Justices are chosen from superior court judges or from barristers with at least ten years standing at the Bar of a Canadian province or territory. Justices are appointed until they retire or reach the age of 75, however can be removed for cause before that time.
