Bear in mind this is only true of Article III judges(Judicial Branch) serving on "constitutional courts":
- US District Court
- US Court of International Trade
- US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts

Article I judges (See Article I, Section 8, Clause 3), such as those who preside over the US Court of Federal Claims, US Bankruptcy Courts, US Tax Courts, military courts, certain other courts of limited jurisdiction typically serve 15-year renewable terms. These judges actually work for the Legislative Branch, not the Judicial Branch.
