Selection
The 15 judges of the North Carolina Court of Appeals are chosen through partisan elections. Judges are elected to eight-year terms and must face re-election if they wish to serve again.[1] These elections were nonpartisan from 2004 until a law passed in 2016 made them partisan again, beginning in 2018.
Qualifications
To serve on this court, a person must be licensed to practice law in North Carolina. There is a mandatory retirement age of 72 years.[2]
Chief judge
The chief judge of the court of appeals is selected by the chief justice of the supreme court to serve indefinitely.[3]
Vacancies
In the event of a midterm vacancy, the governor appoints a successor to serve until the next general election which is held more than 60 days after the vacancy occurs. An election is then held for a full eight-year term.[4][1]
