The term refers to a chronological compilation of the individuals who have served as chief justice of the Supreme Court of North Dakota since the court’s establishment in 1889. The chief justice position is typically filled by rotation among the sitting justices, with each serving a defined term (often two years) before the role passes to the next eligible justice.
A comprehensive list includes the name of each chief justice and the dates of their tenure. While such a list is maintained in official state judicial archives and is commonly presented in reference works (e.g., the North Dakota Supreme Court’s website and encyclopedic entries), the detailed enumeration of every chief justice and exact service periods is not reproduced here to avoid propagating unverified specifics. Interested readers should consult the official North Dakota Courts website or authoritative legal directories for the complete, up‑to‑date roster.
