Judges typically obtain their positions through various methods, depending on the jurisdiction. In some areas, they are appointed by government officials, while in others, they are elected by the public. Candidates usually have extensive legal experience, often serving as attorneys or in other judicial roles prior to their appointment or election. Additionally, some judges may undergo a nomination process that includes evaluations by legal organizations or committees.

Superior and State Court judges are elected. Lower courts' judges (magistrate, juvenile, probate, etc) are appointed.
Judges are not summoned in the course of normal events. They are appointed or elected to their positions. Judges are assigned to a court and sit whenever there are cases or matters they need to decide on. In many places that is a full time job.
In the United States the judges are nominated by the President with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. The Senate votes upon the President's nomination for approval or rejection.
