How much do you have to study to become a judge?

Question

for a city/county...

Answer 1

Wysteria is correct.

Being a judge is an Elected office.

AFTER you have practiced law for quite awhile. Which you can't do until you pass the BAR.

And, I may be wrong about this, but I once heard that you don't necessarily need to study law to pass the BAR. If you pass the BAR, you can become a lawyer. However, find a firm that will higher you without any law school... well... THAT seems like it would be very hard.

Also, know this: Not ALL who go to Law School actually pass the BAR. They may try and try and try, but many do not pass...

Answer 2

You have to become a lawyer first and then to become a judge,you have to be elected.

Answer 3

and even before Law School, you have to complete an undergraduate degree.
