WASHINGTON – As U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is about to prove that 90 may be the new 70, at least for judges, state lawmakers are taking note.
Justice Stevens announced last week that he would retire when the current term ends. He will turn 90 on Tuesday. But Justice Stevens, who was 55 when he joined the Court in 1975, would not have had such a long career on the bench of the top court in New York or most other states. Most states requires judges to step down after age 70, according to the National Center for State Courts.
