Federal judges are appointed for life. The term for a judge in a state court will vary from state to state and court to court. For example, in my state the circuit court judges are appointed for 10 year terms, district court & family court judges get 6 year terms. We also have per diem judges (basically, substitute judges who get called in for a day or two now and then) in the district & family court who get appointed for two terms.
If you are selected to serve on a trial, most Judges at the Federal Court sit between the hours of 9:00a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The average length of a trial at the Federal Court is 4-7 days. Please Note: The 15 day on-call period isthe date range the jury department can call you in for jury selection.************************************IMPORTANT INFORMATION******************************************** â Questionnaire: Please complete and return the pink and white Juror Qualification Questionnaire to this office within 10 days by completing the questionnaire on line or by using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
