It can depend on what type of judge you are asking about. Most federal judges are appointed (essentially) for life unless they commit judicial malfeasance or commit a felony. State and county judges may be appointed as the constitutions of their state specify. Some occupy appointive positions, while other are elected by popular vote.

That depends on the particular jurisdiction, the level and the court system. Some judges are appointed for life. Some need to run for office.

Higher level state court judges terms are decided by the constitution of the state and vary accordingly. Federal judges are appointed and their terms are for their lives.
