How Many US Supreme Court Justices Were Born In Your State?

The map above shows how many US Supreme court justices were born in each US State. The clear winner is New York with 14 followed by Virginia with 10.

Overall, there have been 116 justices since the Court was established in 1789.

Here is a full list by state:
