CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT 

Judicial

The Supreme Court, the highest state court, is made up of a chief justice and six associate justices. Supreme court justices, as well as the justices of the state's district courts of appeal, serve 12-year terms. They are initially appointed by the governor with the approval of the commission on judicial appointments, and at the expiration of their terms they can run unopposed for election to another term. In addition to these appellate courts, California has superior courts, municipal courts, and various lower courts, with judges elected to six-year terms.
