Selection method

See also: Partisan election of judges

The 98 judges of the North Carolina Superior Courts are chosen in partisan elections to serve eight-year terms. From 1998 through 2016, elections for superior 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 superior court elections.[3][4][5][6][7]

The chief judge of each superior court is chosen by seniority.[8]

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

  • "learned in the law" and
  • under the age of 72 (retirement at 72 is mandatory).[8]
