Constitutional courts are those established under Article III of the Constitution. These federal judges and Supreme Court justices are appointed "during good behavior," which means "for life," unless the judge/justice commits an impeachable offense and is removed from office involuntarily. Judges may resign or retire voluntarily.

The Article III (constitutional courts) comprise the Judicial Branch of government, and include only the following:

  • US District Courts
  • US Court of International Trade
  • US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts
  • Supreme Court of the United States

Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution reads, in part: "The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour..."

Do all Texas judges serve for life?

yes None do. All Texas judges are elected. Judges on the Texas Supreme Court, Court of Criminal Appeals, and Court of Appeals are elected for six year terms. Texas District Court, County Court, and Justices of the Peace are elected for four year terms. Municipal Court judges (who have very limited powers) are either elected or appointed depending on the city's charter. This is in contrast to federal judges, most of whom are appointed for life, except for Bankruptcy Court judges who are appointed for 14 year terms, and Federal Magistrates who are appointed for eight year terms.
