A "circuit" judge refers to a judge, usually appointed or confirmed by the governor of a state, to hear cases at the Circuit Court level. An "associate" judge is simply an honorary title. An "associate" judge may be a retired judge, or an inactive judge who occasionally hears cases. An "associate" judge would still have to be qualified to hear cases at whatever level of the court system he is functioning in.
