There are five justices seated on the North Dakota Supreme Court. As of May 2009, the members are:
Chief Justice Gerald W. VandeWalle
Justice Dale V. Sandstrom
Justice Mary Muehlen Maring
Justice Carol Ronning Kapsner
Justice Daniel J. Crothers
Unlike the US Supreme Court, where Justices receive a lifetime appointment, the term of office for a North Dakota Supreme Court judge is only ten years. Positions are filled during the general election of the year in which a particular judge's term ends; however, the North Dakota Constitution empowers the governor to appoint a Supreme Court judge for a term of two years before a general election must be held to fill a vacancy.
