Selection method

See also: Partisan election of judges

The North Carolina District Courts utilize partisan elections in the selection of judges. District judges serve four-year terms, after which they must run for re-election if they wish to continue serving. From 2002 through 2016, elections for district court judges were nonpartisan; however, on March 23, 2017, the North Carolina legislature changed the method of election to partisan elections by overriding Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of HB 100. This change was effective with the 2018 district court elections.

Qualifications
To serve on this court, a judge must be:

• licensed to practice law in the state;
• a district resident; and
• under the age of 72 (retirement at 72 is mandatory).

2012

Overall: 3.16 Integrity & Fairness: 3.71 Legal Ability: 3.20
