During the last election a lot of the lower court judgeships had just the same number of people running for them as needed to be elected. That got me thinking if just the general public could run for these postitions like how anyone can run for an elected sherrif postition.

Technically, no. You don't have to be a lawyer to become a judge. However, most people get the experience needed to be a judge by being a lawyer........ I guess there is another pool of people who have as much experience in the courtroom as lawyers......
