As of now, only a handful of states in the U.S. utilize a system where state legislatures elect judges. Specifically, these states include South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. This method is relatively uncommon compared to other systems such as popular elections or gubernatorial appointments. The trend has generally leaned towards more direct forms of judicial selection in recent years.
