⭕️ Some countries use fixed judicial terms instead of a mandatory retirement age. Rules may also differ for chief justices, constitutional courts, and other top courts.

⭕️ Some judges serve without a fixed retirement age, while others must retire between the ages of 60 and 75. Sri Lanka is at the lower end of the spectrum.
