while the justices of the supreme court are appointed for life, many have retired or resigned. beginning in the early 20th century, many justices who left the court voluntarily did so by retiring from the court without leaving the federal judiciary altogether. a retired justice, according to the united states code, is no longer a member of the supreme court, but remains eligible to serve by designation as a judge of a u.s. court of appeals or district court, and many retired justices have served in these capacities. historically, the average length of service on the court has been less than 15 years. however, since 1970 the average length of service has increased to about 26 years.
