It is assumed, like other branches of Earth's Government, that the Supreme Court of Earth is a continuation of the Supreme Court of the United States, which is backed up by the fact that many of the justices sitting on the court in the 31st century were members of the court of the United States in the early 21st century. Like its predecessor, the Earth's Supreme Court is made up of nine justices that are appointed by the sitting President. These justices, most of whom were heads by the end of the 30th century, would hear the arguments of each side before reaching a consensus through a vote via high-speed telepathy.

| - It is assumed, like other branches of Earth's Government, that the Supreme Court of Earth is a continuation of the Supreme Court of the United States, which is backed up by the fact that many of the justices sitting on the court in the 31st century were members of the court of the United States in the early 21st century. Like its predecessor, the Earth's Supreme Court is made up of nine justices that are appointed by the sitting President. These justices, most of whom were heads by the end of the 30th century, would hear the arguments of each side before reaching a consensus through a vote via high-speed telepathy. At some point between 3003 and 3009, legislation was introduced that halved the votes of female justices. It is unknown when or why this occurred, though ultimately Earth President Richard M. Nixon would have been responsible for signing the bill into law, but it played a pivotal role in at least one court case: Wong v. Eco-Feministas.
