| Reasons given | |
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
 | This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding ((Short description)) at the top of the article. |

Court membership
The template will automatically add a list of Justices comprising the court when the SCC parameter is given the correct year range in the YYYY-YYYY format. Use the entry from the list below corresponding to the date on which the court heard the case (not necessarily the same year when the case decision was issued). This will automatically fill in the members of the court. For example, R. v. Oakes was heard on 1985-03-12, so use SCC=1985-1987. (Since the court composition changed in 1985, this was chosen instead of SCC=1984-1985 by examining the dates used to construct the chart of the Dickson court, or by reviewing equivalent sources.)
For cases heard since the last time the court membership changed, you may enter SCC=present. Updates to each such case page will eventually be necessary when the court's membership changes again. (If you instead enter a year range in this situation, each such page will need to be updated every time a new year begins with the same court composition.) Historically, some court compositions lasted less than a year; for cases heard in those situations, use the same year twice, e.g. SCC=2008-2008.

Implementation details
Technically, the court composition key is determined by a #switch function inside of the source code for ((Infobox SCC)), and not in the documentation section above. Correspondence between these locations must be manually maintained.
If no entry in the #switch function matches the value of the SCC parameter, the page will be added to Category:Infobox SCC with no court composition, a hidden maintenance category.
