For occupying the top judicial office in the most powerful nation on earth, United States Supreme Court justices are relatively modestly paid. The eight associate justices earn an annual average salary of $213,900.While thatâs nearly five times the median income of all Americans, the total isnât nearly as high as the pay for partners at 68 of the nationâs top law firms, each of whom take home an average of more than $1 million.urprisingly, there are no written qualifications to become a Supreme Court justice or associate justice. Individuals of all ages, educational attainment and career backgrounds can be considered. Justices donât have to be lawyers, judges -- or even U.S. citizens.
Evening Formal & Semi-Formal. In the evening in the US, it is appropriate to wear white or black tie, particularly if your wedding isnât taking place in a church. I went to a New Yearâs Eve wedding a few years ago in a naval mansion, and it was lovely to see the gentlemen in black tie.
For a formal wedding a tuxedo is ideal though in today's day and age a dark suit is also acceptable. Essentially choose whichever garment you already own, and if you own neither rent a tuxedo. For more information, you may also want to read our guide to black tie attire. If the wedding is semi formal then you should either wear a suit or a sport coat. There is no real ideal here, and either is appropriate; so choose whichever garment you are more comfortable in and looks the best.
