'''Justices of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom''' are the judges of the [[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]] other than [[President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|the president]] and [[Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|the deputy president]].<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], s.23(6)</ref> The Supreme Court is the highest court of the United Kingdom for civil and  criminal matters in the jurisdictions of [[English law|England and Wales]] and [[Northern Ireland law|Northern Ireland]]. Judges are appointed by [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|the King]] on the advice of the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]], who receives recommendations from a selection commission.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=59746|date=1 April 2011|pages=6177-6178|title=Warrants Under the Royal Sign Manual}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Press release: Courtesy titles for Justices of the Supreme Court|url=http://www.supremecourt.uk/docs/pr_1013.pdf|publisher=[[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]]|date=13 December 2010|access-date=9 March 2014}}</ref>

The number of judges is set by s.23(2) [[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], which established the Court, but may be increased by the King through an [[Order in Council]] under s.23(3). There are currently 12 positions: one President, one Deputy President, and 10 Justices. Judges of the Court who are not already [[Peerages in the United Kingdom|peers]] are granted the [[judicial courtesy title]] of ''Lord'' or ''Lady''.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=59746|date=1 April 2011|pages=6177-6178|title=Warrants Under the Royal Sign Manual}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Press release: Courtesy titles for Justices of the Supreme Court|url=http://www.supremecourt.uk/docs/pr_1013.pdf|publisher=[[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]]|date=13 December 2010|access-date=9 March 2014}}</ref>

==Qualification==
The [[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]] sets out the conditions for the appointments of a President, Deputy President or Justice of the Court. That person must have held high judicial office (judge of the Supreme Court, English [[High Court of Justice|High Court]] or [[Court of Appeal of England and Wales|Court of Appeal]], Northern Irish [[Courts of Northern Ireland#High Court|High Court]] or [[Courts of Northern Ireland#Court of Appeal|Court of Appeal]], or Scottish [[Court of Session]]) for at least two years,<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 25(1)(a)</ref> or have held rights of audience at the higher courts of [[High Court of Justice|England]], [[College of Justice|Scotland]] or [[Courts of Northern Ireland#Court of Judicature|Northern Ireland]] for at least fifteen years.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 25(1)(b)</ref> This means it is not necessary for someone applying to become a judge of the Supreme Court to have previous judicial experience (allowing [[Jonathan Sumption]] [[Queen's Counsel|QC]], a leading [[barrister]], to successfully apply for the role in 2011).

==Appointment==
Judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by The King by the issue of [[letters patent]],<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 23(2)</ref><ref>{{cite tweet|user=CrownOffFOIDs|number=1559970638017740802 |publisher=Crown Office |title=Constitutional Reform Act |accessdate=17 August 2022}}</ref> on the advice of the Prime Minister, to whom a name is recommended by a special selection commission. The Prime Minister is required by the Constitutional Reform Act to recommend this name to the King and not permitted to nominate anyone else.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], sections 26(2)&(3)</ref>

===Selection commission===
The selection commission is made up of the [[President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|President]] of the Court, another senior UK judge (not a Supreme Court Justice), and a member each from the [[Judicial Appointments Commission]], the [[Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland]] and the Northern Ireland Judicial Appointments Commission. By law, at least one of these cannot be a lawyer.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], schedule 8 para 1(1)</ref><ref name="2019process">{{cite web|url=https://www.supremecourt.uk/news/supreme-court-selection-process-for-president-and-justices-2019.html|title=Supreme Court selection process for President and Justices|publisher=The Supreme Court|access-date=8 April 2020|date=8 February 2019}}</ref> Should the President's place on the commission be unfilled, that place is to be taken by the next most senior judge of the court, either the [[Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|Deputy President]] or, if they are also vacant, the most senior Justice.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], schedule 8 para 2</ref><ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], schedule 8 para 3</ref> However, there is a similar but separate commission to appoint the next President, which is chaired by one of the non-lawyer members and features another Supreme Court Justice in the place of the President. Both of these commissions are convened by the [[Lord Chancellor]].<ref name="2019process"/>

===Selection procedure===
Once the commission is formed, there are a number of people it is required to consult. The first group is a set of "''senior judges''" defined by the Act who do ''not'' wish to be considered for nomination.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27(2)(a)</ref> Section 60 of the Act defines "''the senior judges''" as (a) the other judges of the Supreme Court, (b) the [[Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales]], (c) the [[Master of the Rolls]], (d) the [[Lord President of the Court of Session]], (e) the [[Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland]], (f) the [[Lord Justice Clerk]], (g) the [[President of the Queen's Bench Division|President of the King's Bench Division]], (h) the [[President of the Family Division]] and (i) the [[Chancellor of the High Court]].<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27(3)</ref>

In the event that no judge from one of the UK's three jurisdictions has been consulted (e.g. if the Lord President and Lord Justice Clerk, the two most senior judges in Scotland, both wish to be considered for appointment, they will both be excluded from the consultation), the commission must consult the most senior judge in that jurisdiction who is not a member of the commission and does not wish to be considered for appointment.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27(3)</ref> The commission is then also required to consult the Lord Chancellor, the [[First Minister of Scotland]], the [[First Minister for Wales]] and the [[Secretary of State for Northern Ireland]].<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27(2)(b)-(e)</ref>

The selection must be made on merit, in accordance with the qualification criteria of section 25 of the Act (''[[Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom#Qualification|above]]''), of someone not a member of the commission, ensuring that the judges will have between them knowledge and experience of all three of the UK's distinct legal systems, having regard to any guidance given by the Lord Chancellor, and of one person only.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27(5)-(10)</ref>

===Lord Chancellor's role===
Once the commission has selected a nomination to make, this is to be provided in a report to the Lord Chancellor,<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 27A and 27B.</ref> who is then required to consult the judges and politicians already consulted by the commission before deciding whether to recommend (in the Act, "notify") a name to the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]], who in turn advises the King to make the appointment. The Act provides for up to three stages in the Lord Chancellor's consideration of whether to do so:
# When the selection is first put forward, the Lord Chancellor is entitled to accept the nomination, to reject it, or to ask the commission to reconsider. 
# If the nomination was rejected in Stage One, the commission must put forward a new name for Stage Two. The Lord Chancellor must either accept or ask the commission to reconsider. If instead the Lord Chancellor asked for reconsideration at Stage One, the commission may either put forward the same name or a new one. In either case, the Lord Chancellor must either accept or reject the name. In other words, ''the Lord Chancellor has one opportunity to reject and one to ask for reconsideration''. 
# At Stage Three (i.e. when the Lord Chancellor has both rejected and asked once for reconsideration), the name put forward by the commission must be accepted and forwarded to the Prime Minister, with one caveat: in the event the commission was asked to reconsider a name and then forwarded a new name, the Lord Chancellor may choose to accept the earlier name.<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 29.</ref>

==Original judges==
The Supreme Court was established on 1 October 2009. It assumed the former [[judicial functions of the House of Lords]], which were removed by the [[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]]. The twelve [[Lords of Appeal in Ordinary]] became judges of the Supreme Court,<ref>[[Constitutional Reform Act 2005]], section 24(a)</ref> except for [[Richard Scott, Baron Scott of Foscote|Lord Scott of Foscote]], who retired the day before the Court began business, and [[David Neuberger, Baron Neuberger of Abbotsbury|Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury]], who resigned to become [[Master of the Rolls]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Lord Neuberger named Master of the Rolls|url=http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article6724777.ece|work=[[The Times]]|date=23 July 2009|access-date=20 July 2010 | location=London | first=Frances | last=Gibb}}</ref> The former Master of the Rolls, [[Tony Clarke, Baron Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony|Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony]], became a judge of the Supreme Court on its first day, the first Justice directly appointed to the Court.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lord Clarke appointed Justice of the UK Supreme Court|url=http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page19036|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100408130944/http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page19036|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 April 2010|publisher=[[10 Downing Street]]|date=20 April 2009|access-date=20 July 2010}}</ref> [[John Dyson (judge)|Sir John Dyson]] was appointed as the twelfth member on 13 April 2010; the first Justice not to be a peer.

The [[Lords of Appeal in Ordinary#Senior and Second Senior Law Lord|Senior Law Lord]] on 1 October 2009, [[Nick Phillips, Baron Phillips of Worth Matravers|Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers]], became the Court's first [[President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|President]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers appointed as senior Lord of Appeal in Ordinary|url=http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page15158|archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20091208055632/http://www.number10.gov.uk/Page15158|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 December 2009|publisher=[[10 Downing Street]]|date=1 April 2008|access-date=20 July 2010}}</ref> and the former [[Lords of Appeal in Ordinary#Senior and Second Senior Law Lord|Second Senior Law Lord]], [[David Hope, Baron Hope of Craighead|Lord Hope of Craighead]], the first [[Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|Deputy President]]. The Court originally had one female Justice, [[Brenda Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond|Baroness Hale of Richmond]]; two Scottish Justices, [[David Hope, Baron Hope of Craighead|Lord Hope]] and [[Alan Rodger, Baron Rodger of Earlsferry|Lord Rodger of Earlsferry]]; and one Northern Irish Justice, [[Brian Kerr, Baron Kerr of Tonaghmore|Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore]].

Of the original Justices, [[Mark Saville, Baron Saville of Newdigate|Lord Saville of Newdigate]] was the first to retire,  on 30 September 2010, and Lord Rodger of Earlsferry was the first to die in office, on 26 June 2011. Lord Dyson stood down to become Master of the Rolls on 1 October 2012, the first time a Justice had left the Court to take up another judicial office. The last of the original Justices to retire was [[Brian Kerr, Baron Kerr of Tonaghmore|The Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore]] on 30 September 2020.

==Acting judges and supplementary panel==
Under section 38 of the Constitutional Reform Act, the [[President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|President]] of the Court is empowered to request the service of additional judges on the Court, drawn from two categories of people: the first is any person serving as a "senior territorial judge", defined by section 38(8) as a judge of the [[Court of Appeal of England and Wales]], the [[Inner House]] of the [[Court of Session]], or the [[Courts of Northern Ireland#Court of Appeal|Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland]] (unless the judge holds the latter office only by virtue of being a [[puisne judge]] of the High Court in Northern Ireland). The [[Igor Judge, Baron Judge|Lord Judge]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Press Summary: ''R (Noone) v HMP Drake Hall'' |url=http://www.supremecourt.uk/decided-cases/docs/UKSC_2009_0090_PressSummary.pdf |publisher=[[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]] |date=30 June 2010 |access-date=9 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Press Summary: ''Norris v USA'' |url=http://www.supremecourt.uk/decided-cases/docs/UKSC_2009_0052_PressSummary.pdf |publisher=[[Supreme Court of the United Kingdom]] |date=24 February 2010 |access-date=9 March 2014}}</ref> occasionally sat on cases in the Supreme Court when he was [[Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales]], as did Neuberger when he was [[Master of the Rolls]]. Both Reed (prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court) and [[Matthew Clarke, Lord Clarke|Lord Clarke]], judges of the [[Court of Session]], sat on the Supreme Court during Rodger's last illness.

The second category of additional judges is the supplementary panel: approved Supreme Court justices and territorial judges who have retired from judicial service within the past five years and are younger than 75.

As of 2022 the supplementary panel consists of:<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.supremecourt.uk/about/supplementary-panel.html|title=Supplementary List|website=The Supreme Court|access-date=26 October 2022}}</ref>
* [[Anthony Hughes, Lord Hughes of Ombersley|Lord Hughes of Ombersley]] (former Justice of the Supreme Court)
* [[Jill Black, Lady Black of Derwent|Lady Black of Derwent]] (former Justice of the Supreme Court)
* [[Declan Morgan|Sir Declan Morgan]] (former Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland)

==Salary==
As of 1 October 2019, Justices of the Supreme Court, including the [[Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|Deputy President]], were in Group 2 of the judicial salary scheme, with an annual salary of £226,193. This is the same group as the [[Chancellor of the High Court]], [[Lord Justice Clerk]], [[President of the Family Division]] and [[President of the Queen's Bench Division|President of the King's Bench Division]].<ref name="salary"/> The [[President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom|President of the Supreme Court]], [[Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland]], [[Lord President of the Court of Session]] and [[Master of the Rolls]] make up Group 1.1 of the scale on £234,184, below only the [[Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales]], who earns £262,264.<ref name="salary"/>

==Dress==
On ceremonial occasions, such as the [[State Opening of Parliament]], the ceremony at [[Westminster Abbey]] to mark the beginning of the judicial year, and at the swearing in of a new member of the Court, the Justices wear ceremonial robes of black silk damask trimmed with gold lace and frogs, in the same pattern as the [[Lord Chancellor]]'s state robes. The robe has no train, and the flap collar and shoulder caps bear the Supreme Court insignia. 

The Justices do not wear wigs or [[court dress]] as others in the legal and official positions do. Lady Hale has taken to wearing a black velvet [[Tudor bonnet]] with gold cord and tassel which is the common headwear for doctorates in British [[academical dress]].{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} The robes were made by [[Ede & Ravenscroft]] with the embroidery by [[Hand & Lock]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.handembroidery.com/2009/10/the-supreme-court/ |publisher=Hand & Lock |title=The Supreme Court |date=2 October 2009 |access-date=24 June 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20091012040057/http://www.handembroidery.com/2009/10/the-supreme-court/ |archive-date=12 October 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
