The judgments will age off in 7 years or your state’s limit on judgments, which ever is the longest. They should be noted as discharged in your bankruptcy, but that does not get them removed.

Those entries are your credit history and will remain on your credit report for 7 years.

You can file a dispute with the bureaus, tell them that debt was discharged in your bankruptcy (you might provided them with a copy of your discharge papers). The bureaus should note the judgment as "Judgment in Bankruptcy". But it will not be removed — it will remain on your credit report for 7 years from date of entry.
