Judges in Rhode Island are appointed for life. Candidates are chosen by a nominating commission and, from those candidates, the Governor makes the appointment. Appointees must then be confirmed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
In addition to our volunteer editors, Judgepedia has a group of paid staff members. You can learn about our staff members by looking through their bio pages.
