In some states of the United States, there is a sort of term length: judges are elected, which means they have to run for office. If the public is not pleased with what they did during their time on the bench, they are voted out and replaced. Not all states use this system: while supporters say it keeps judges from being in power too long, opponents say judges should not be involved in politics and appointing them prevents the judicial process from becoming too political.

Who decides the length of political terms?
Currently, the length of terms for the US president, US Senators, and US Representatives is fixed in the US Constitution. Terms for federal judges are for life or until retirement or removal for cause (impeachment). Terms of office for other positions are set by the constitution, charter, or other organizing document that defines and creates the position. In some cases, the document may grant authority to a governing body (such as a city commission) to set the term of office, but generally it is spelled out in the governing document. The length of term can, of course, be changed by amendment to the governing document. In countries where power is vested in an absolute ruler (think King, dictator, Czar, etc.) length of political terms is set by that absolute ruler.
