Selection method
- See also: Nonpartisan election of judges
Judges of the Minnesota Court of Appeals are all chosen in nonpartisan elections to six-year terms. Candidates compete in primaries, from which the top two contestants advance to the general election.[1] Sitting judges must run for re-election if they wish to serve additional terms. While party affiliation is not designated on the ballot, incumbency is.[1] Interim vacancies are filled via gubernatorial appointment. Appointed judges serve until the next general election occurring more than one year after their appointment.[1] They may then stand for election to a full term, and other candidates may file to run against them.[2]
Qualifications
Judges are required to be "learned in the law" and under 70 years old. Sitting judges who reach the age of 70 while in office are allowed to serve until the last day of that month.[1][3]
Selection of the chief judge
The chief judge of the Minnesota Court of Appeals is appointed by the governor to a three-year term.
