Judicial Turnover

Judicial Turnover is a scholarly construct in political science and legal studies that denotes the process by which sitting judges exit judicial office, thereby altering the composition of a court, distinguished from related mechanisms of judicial change by its focus on the rate and circumstances of judicial exits, whether through retirement, resignation, death, or removal, rather than appointment or selection dynamics.
