Question: What age limit do judges have to retire in the US Supreme Court?
Answer: There is no age limit. In the state in Massachusetts there is an age limit of 70. The federal system, including not just the U.S. Supreme Court but the Federal Courts, are lifetime appointments. Sometimes judges in the Federal System, not the U.S. Supreme Court, will go on senior status and hear less cases. It is a big issue because when a U.S. Supreme Court judge steps off the bench then the president has to nominate someone then it has to go through a confirmation process with the Senate. People look very carefully and wonder what is going on because when one judge retires it changes the whole balance. source
Since 1971, the average age of retirement for a US Supreme Court justice has been 78.7, according to a 2006 study published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. Source
Whereas according to the constitution of Pakistan (Article 179):
"A judge of the Supreme Court shall hold office until he attains the age of sixty five years, unless he sooner resigns or is removed from office in accordance with the Constitution." source
It is sad that Pakistan Supreme court Judges are not yet free of manipulations by corrupt Governments Like Navaz.
