Question

Answer 1

you become a solicitor first then you obtain a degree of juris doctor ju then you must pass your state bar examination and gain experience.
you then need to ask for a judgeship when there is an opening,in a court of your preference,
you need to go in front of the judicial nominating commission its very competitive and you need political support to be appointed or elected you need to be able to impress the nominating commission.
judges get more respect than barristers or solicitors but earn less

Answer 2

This is the UK page, so I presume you want a UK answer. There are several kinds of judge (not including immigration adjudicators and parking adjudicators and other specialists sitting in specialised courts). At the lower end of the scale are the district judges, who used to be known as stipendiary magistrates. These are all qualified barristers or solicitors who have acquired a great amount of expertise in the works of magistrates' courts, generally through working as legal advisers over a number of years, and who apply for appointment in response to advertisements in legal periodicals. Many of these have never been in private practice.
Next come part time judges known as Recorders, who take time from their private practice to hear cases (normally in order to be able to move further up the scale). There are County Court judges, Crown Court Judges and High Court judges, all of whom look for advertisements in the legal periodicals when an appointing board is due to consider applications and then apply for a post. All such applicants will have built up considerable experience in private practice and have the highest credentials.

There are countries where one can become a career judge, but the UK is not one of them. Being made a judge is the reward for many years of hard, unremitting toil.

Answer 3

To be a district judge you need 15 Years experience as a solicitor ( I don't know about a barrister ) High Court judges are usually selected from senior barristers that is Queens Counsel ( I thing solicitors can be considered now) and they have many years experience (at least 15 ) You do not just apply from the street and become one.

Answer 4

Without any qualifications you can become a lay magistrate in the UK. The only stipulation is that you have a certain amount of free time amonth, you are of good character (no criminal record), and live within 15 miles of the magistrates' court in which you will be sitting.

Go to the DCA website where they have details. Oh, and it is a voluntary post, meaning that you will not get paid

Answer 5

You have to be a lawyer first. Then when there is a vacancy, the judicial nominating commission will put out an announcement, and you send in your name.

In some states, judges are elected instead. So you simply file a petition with the registrar of voters to get on the ballot.

Answer 6

Ask Simon Cowell or Sharon Osbourne

Answer 7

Go to law school train as a lawyer practice for a few years etc.

Answer 8

You have to complete law school and become a lawyer first
