The Supreme Court of Virginia seats seven justices who are elected to twelve-year terms by a majority vote of both Houses of the Virginia General Assembly. In addition to the regular justices, the legislature may also select as many as five retired justices to one-year terms to assist and to hear cases when a regular justice is unavailable.

The Supreme Court of Virginia is composed of seven justices elected by a majority vote of each House of the General Assembly for a term of twelve years. Interim appointments are made by the Governor subject to election by the General Assembly at the next regular session. By law, the Chief Justice is chosen by the majority vote of the seven justices (http://www.courts.state.va.us/cib/cib.htm).
