Canada

Canada gathers the Chief Justices and puisne justices of the Supreme Court of Canada, from the court's founding in 1875 through its full historical roster of appointees to its sitting bench. This is the largest group in the subcategory, reflecting the court's long unbroken institutional history, and spans landmark eras from the court's first Chief Justice, William Buell Richards, through its Charter-era jurisprudence to its current justices appointed since 2011.
