Hur länge sitter ett justitieråd?
I Sverige tjänstgör justitieråden ”tills vidare”, till skillnad från domare i Europadomstolen, som sitter i nio år och inte kan väljas om. I Sverige är tjänsten som domare i HD dock mer lik andra höga tjänstemannaposter. Det är således inte ovanligt att domare i HD går vidare till något annat jobb.
Det finns 16 justitieråd i domstolen, varav i regel två tjänstgör i Lagrådet. Tjänstgöringen i Lagrådet sker vanligtvis ett år åt gången. De 14 dömande justitieråden är indelade i två avdelningar. Den ena avdelningen leds av Högsta domstolens ordförande och den andra av en avdelningsordförande.
