This depends on the office.

Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are appointed for life.

Justices of the various state supreme courts serve for varying terms. In some states like California, justices serve for life, but can be voted out of office in a recall election. Some judges are appointed for fixed terms, and some are elected.

Any judge can be impeached by the legislature and removed from office in the case of serious crimes or malpractice, but this is extremely rare.

You will need to check the laws for the area in which you are interested.
