Expand: yes--13 districts, 13 justices
Term Limits-- KIND OF.. 13 justices sitting, mandory retirement from active work at 70. (plus an emeritus block)
A normal case would consist of 12 of the 13 judges, and the last vote would be the majority opinion of the aforementioned Emeritus Block (ergo, all of the judges with constitutional lifetime appointments, BUT ALSO with mandory 'retirement' at age 70)
