Selection method

See also: Nonpartisan election of judges

Judges of the municipal courts are chosen either in nonpartisan elections or by appointment. They serve two-year terms, after which they face either re-election or reappointment.[1][2]

Qualifications
To serve on a district court, a judge must be:[2]

  • a U.S. citizen and state resident;
  • licensed to practice in the state (except in municipalities of more than 5000 people); and
  • under the age of 75.*

*No judge is eligible to run for office after attaining the age of 75. If a sitting judge turns 75 while serving, he or she may continue serving until the end of that calendar year.[3]
