#### Selection method[edit]

See also: Nonpartisan election of judges

The 221 judges of the Michigan Circuit Courts are selected in an identical manner, each serving six-year terms. They are chosen in nonpartisan elections and must face re-election if they wish to continue serving. Candidates are placed on the ballot via nonpartisan primaries or by nominating petitions.[1] Sitting judges who reach age 70 are allowed to serve out the remainder of their term.[2]

### Selection of the chief judge

The chief judges of the circuit courts are appointed by the state supreme court to two-year terms.[1]

To be elected to either of these courts, a judge must:[1]

* be a qualified elector of his or her district;
* be licensed to practice law in the state;
* have at least five years of law practice experience; and
* be under the age of 70.
