After getting a Law degree, whats th best way to become a Federal judge?

Question

I have taken the Lsat and the Gmat and am just wondering my probability at being a federal Judge.

Answer 1

You have to be top of your class at a top 10 law school. You should clerk for one of the Federal Judges, and then work at a large firm or the DA's office and become connected politically (with the corect political party). I suggest you look at the biographies of the various Federal Courts of Appeal and Circuit Courts to see their education, and work histories.

Answer 2

Here's the typical path to a federal judgeship:

Graduate from law school (usually from a top 15 institution), clerk for a federal judge (or at least some kind of judge), work for several years accumulating wealth, experience, and connections, use said connections to get appointed to a judge position. Sometimes, they start at the state level before getting appointed to the federal level. Sometimes, they can get appointed to the federal bench without any judicial experience. Federal judge positions are almost always purely political appointments so your connections are the most critical.
