Best Answer

An appointment to the United States Supreme Court is for life; however, justices can be impeached for bad behavior, just as any other government official can be. In the case of the Supreme Court, this hasn't happened.

Justices sometimes retire, but are more likely to die in office than retire.

Some states have fixed terms for Supreme Court justices; for example, California.
