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.
