Retired judicial officers are eligible to join the NCJFCJ as a Lifetime Member. This category of membership includes all voting rights and all the benefits of an Active Judge Membership in the NCJFCJ for life.

This membership is for any person who holds retired status from an elected, appointed, or tribal judicial office.

The NCJFCJ encourages every judicial officer to become a member. This includes any active, retired, or former juvenile judge, family court judge, circuit court judge, presiding judge, chief judge, chief justice, appellate judge, referee, commissioner, or otherwise designated official exercising or having exercised jurisdiction over juveniles, families, or children in any court.
