Judges in Florida are selected 1 of 2 ways. The lower level judges are selected through a public election The higher level judges are selected through a merit selection. A merit selection is when the board comprises a list of possible judge selections and the governor of the state then picks one from that list. After the judge has served his/her first term (4 years) he/she must attend a retention hearing to see if they will continue to serve as the judge.
