Compiled from wire reports COLUMBIA Chief Justice Julius "Bubba Ness of the state Supreme Court reaches the mandatary state retirement age of 72 in 1988 but an opinion from the attorney general's office says the 88 state judges dont have to retire. The opinion, issued quietly last month, says a recently passed federal Law that ended some mandatory retirement programs invalidated a South Carolina law that required judges to step down at age 72.

"It is our opinion that the federal la now prohibits the state from enforcing its mandatory retirement law with respect to South Carolina's judges," the 18-page opinion read. Louis Rosen, director of the state Court Adminstration, said be intends to follow the attorney general's opinion. "There's no question about them serving beyond 72. It's cut and dried. The issue has been settled by Congress.

The judges will still have to face re-election. Issues like age ccould be raised at that time," Rosen said. If that is the case, then South Carolina judges could hold their positions for life, assuming they are re-elected by the General Assembly. Supreme Court justices are elected for 10-year terms; Court of Appeals and circuit judges for six-year terms, and family court judges, for four-year terms. Salaries range from $67,610 for family court judge to $83,238 for the chief justice.
