Establish a good reputation as a practicing attorney. Few judges become judges with less than 10 years' experience practicing law. Get at least some courtroom experiences; most judges have some background in trial work. If your state elects judges, get to know the lawyers, become active in the bar association, because lawyers will be your primary source of campaign funds and support. if your state appoints judges (governor appoints, legislature confirms), it may be helpful to be involved in politics, although not always. Bottom line: do your best--merit is recognized. |

You will certainly need a law degree (Juris Doctorate) and then some significant time spent in trial law, preferably on the prosecution side of the aisle. A good track record, keep your nose clean and stay out of trouble, and then wait for appointment to the bench. This is a long, long process so there really is no quick path and it will take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Good luck! |

You can't be a judge without first being an attorney, so go to law school, pass the bar in your state, become active with your chosen political party, and don't get on anybody's bad side. |
