Two Nevada supreme court seats can be elected at any one time. The elections must be non-partisan, meaning a supreme court candidate cannot run as a Democrat or a Republican. Terms for the successful candidate run for 6 years. Candidates raise money to use during the election, and rivals to the seat often (if not always) bring up a candidates previous record to try to convince the electorate not to vote for them.
So a Nevada supreme court justice does not have a lifetime appointment, only a 6 year appointment. Their previous record as a judge can be used against them, and the candidate with the most votes wins.
