| OpenAI. (2026). Who appoints federal judges? [AI-generated infographic]. OpenAI. Edited by Jennifer Gagliardi |
In the United States, the President appoints federal judges. Federal judges work in federal courts, including district courts, courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court. These judges help interpret the law and decide important legal cases.
When there is an open position on a federal court, the President chooses a person to fill the job. This person is called a nominee. However, the appointment is not complete right away. The United States Senate must review the nominee and vote to approve the appointment.
If the Senate approves the nominee, the person becomes a federal judge. Federal judges usually serve for life or until they decide to retire. This system helps make sure that judges can make decisions based on the law and the Constitution.
