The Justices of the Supreme Court are elected to staggered six-year terms in state-wide elections. When a vacancy arises the Governor may appoint a Justice, subject to Senate confirmation, to serve out the remainder of an unexpired term until the next general election. All members of the Court must be at least 35 years of age, a citizen of Texas, licensed to practice law in Texas, and must have practiced law (or have been a lawyer and a judge of a court of record together) for at least ten years (see Tex. Const., Art. 5, Sec. 2).
State judges are selected in 4 different ways. In states such as California, Maine, New Jersey, and Virginia state judges are appointed. In Alabama, Louisiana, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia state judges are selected through a partisan election. In Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin state judges are selected through nonpartisans elections. All other states select state judges through a merit selection.
(Some states allow voters to elect their justices, and in some states the governor appoints the justices.)
