Section 153 – Election or appointment of judges of inferior courts
The Legislature shall provide by law for the election or appointment of all other judges not herein provided for, and shall prescribe their jurisdiction and terms of office.
Explanation in plain English:
This section gives the Alabama Legislature the authority to decide—through legislation—how judges of inferior (lower) courts, which are not otherwise specifically addressed in the Constitution, are selected (either by election or appointment) and to determine:
Their jurisdiction (what kinds of cases they can hear), and
Their terms of office (how long they serve).
