How could i become a judge????
Hello Applicant,
The eligibility to become a Judge is Graduation in Law Degree or LLB as it can be done in two ways:- After 12th 5 years Integrated Law Degree and after Graduation 3 years Law Degree.
As in order to become a Judicial Magistrate, you have to first get a law degree, after which you are qualified to take the Judicial Service exam in your State. If you are selected through that exam, you stand a chance of becoming a Judicial Magistrate or a Civil Judge. Normally those selected for the Judicial Services have to serve both as Civil Judge and as Judicial Magistrates at different times in their career.
Good luck!
Hi Jaanvi.....
There are six general steps you must follow to become a judge:
Step 1: Attend Undergraduate SchoolAspiring judges can prepare for careers in law during undergraduate school. No specific major of study is required to attend law school, but law students commonly hold degrees in political science, history, business or economics.
Step 2: Earn a Law DegreeMost judges begin their careers as lawyers, and prior legal practice is a prerequisite for many state and federal judgeships. Lawyers must hold Juris Doctor (J.D.) degrees, which require completing three years of legal education at a law school approved by the American Bar Association (ABA). Some schools offer part-time programs, which typically take four years to complete.
During the first year of study in law school, students typically focus on fundamental law coursework, including contracts, torts, civil procedure and criminal law. In the final two years, students complete elective classes in specialized topics, such as family law and tax law. Clinical internships are also typically available. Completing an internship during law school can provide students with experience working in the field and networking opportunities, which may make it easier to find employment after graduation.
Step 3: Pass a Bar Exam
