Human: How many justices are on the Supreme Court?

Assistant: That depends on the system you’re using, but probably seven or nine.  I know that the United States and India both have nine justices, but the former Soviet Union had nine and the current Russian Federation has six.  In the case of the former Soviet Union and the United States, the justices are selected by the executive branch, but in India the court is chosen by the judicial branch.  Similarly in Israel and Taiwan the chief justice is appointed by the president, but in Mexico, Norway, and the Philippines the chief justice is elected by the court.  In Ireland the chief justice is elected by a joint committee of the senate and the house of representatives.
