If you are talking about Supreme Court Justices, then through impeachment, just like the President. Articles of Impeachment are brought by the House of Representatives and the Senate holds the trial. If a majority of Senators vote guilty, the Justice is removed from office and will likely serve time in prison.

For other judges (lower courts), I believe the only way they can be removed is through criminal conviction in a court.

There is only one way a federal judge can be removed from office involuntarily: Impeachment by the House of Representatives, followed by conviction at his or her Senate trial. I suppose death would also be involuntary in most cases.

The four ways a federal judge leaves office:

  1. Resignation
  2. Retirement
  3. Death
  4. Impeachment

Need to change a judge how?

Consult your attorney, have him/her help you file a motion for a new judge.Added: As stated above - if you are referring to a trial judge for your particular trial - have your attorney to file a motion requesting that the judge recuse themself from your trial. However it will have to be accompanied by some kind of legally sufficient reason as to why the request is being made.If you are trying to have a judge removed from the bench permanently; if the judge occupies an elective post, try to get a new judge elected to the position. If the judge is appointive, lobby your legislature or the governor's office to have them removed or impeached.
