I don't think they're actually used, but one tradition of the Court is to lay out a feather pen for each lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court. These are intended as keepsakes as a reminder of their experience, because feather pens were used when the Supreme Court was first established.
I imagine the justices use modern pens, and most likely have individual personal preferences.

They decide if laws are unconstitutional or not, and they're the highest court in the USA.
For a case to be heard before the U. S. Supreme Court there must be a quorum. This requires at least six Justices to be present. There is a total of nine Justices on the Supreme Court but illness or recusals could cause less than 9 on a case. For a decision to be rendered it requires a majority of the Justices hearing the case. If all Justices are present the majority would require 5 or more to met this requirement.
A writ is an order of the court requiring action from another court or individual.Most cases are appealed to the US Supreme Court by a petition for a writ of certiorari, which is a request that the justices accept review of the case and issue a writ of certiorari, or order to the lower courts to send all trial and appellate records to the Supreme Court.
The US Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in the United States.
No. There are no constitutional or statutory requirements that a US Supreme Court justice be a judge before being appointed to the Court. Over the past 40 years, however, judicial experience had become an informal requirement. Elena Kagan, who was confirmed to the Court on Saturday, August 7, 2010, is the first justice since William Rehnquist with no prior service on the bench. A total of 41 justices (10 Chief Justices and 31 Associate Justices) of the 112 seated (36.6%) had no judicial experience before joining the US Supreme Court.
