List of justices of the Delaware Supreme Court


The following is a list of justices of the Delaware Supreme Court. From 1772 to 1950, Delaware did not have appointed Supreme Court justices. Instead, appeals from intermediate appellate determinations were taken to "The High Court of Errors and Appeals" – a panel made up of the state Chancellor, and all judges of the "Supreme Court" and of the Courts of Common Pleas who had not previously been involved with the case; under that system, the sole "Supreme Court" justice was the Chief Justice of Delaware.
In 1950, Delaware created a new state Supreme Court, with three judges appointed by the governor.
