Contents

Justices and judges in Massachusetts do not participate in judicial elections. Instead, they are chosen via gubernatorial appointment and confirmed by the Governor's Council. Judges are not subject to terms, but instead serve until the age of 70. [1]

Similar systems, with some variations, are utilized in Delaware, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
