Hello!!

To become a judge,you will have to be a graduate in law.The students from any stream can take up the law course after their 12th standard.To become a law graduate,you will have to write the CLAT exam.Start preparing for CLAT exam.For appearing in the CLAT exam you must have completed 10+2 studies with a minimum of 55% aggregate.After completing graduation in Law you will have to write the Judicial service exams. These are state level exams conducted by the respective state government.To be eligible for this exam you must have passed all the exams of L.L.B in first attempt and also you must have secured a minimum of 55% marks in your undergraduation.

Hey vamsi Krishna

Thats a great goal.

So firstly, you need to possess an LL.B degree from any University/College recognized by the Bar Council of India  . You can opt for either a 3-year LL.B degree or a 5-year integrated B.A./BBA/B.com/B.Sc LL.B degree. A 3-year LL.B degree can be pursued after graduation in any stream whereas, and a 5-year integrated course can be pursued straight after class 12.

Then, lawyers must apply for admission to the bar in their state or jurisdiction of practice.  The State Judicial Services Examination. This examination is held by respective State Governments from time to time. So, Delhi Government conducts the Delhi Judicial Services Examination, Government of West Bengal conducts the West Bengal Judicial Services Examination, etc. The examination consists of three stages – Preliminary, Mains, and Viva-Voice.

Most judges work as attorneys prior to acquiring their judgeship. An attorney represents clients before a court or in other legal proceedings to resolve disputes. Their tasks may include appearing in court, drafting court documents and conducting legal research.

To become judges, one must either be appointed or elected. Lawyers may apply for judgeships by submitting their names for consideration to a judicial nominating commission, or they may be recommended by senators or other politicians. Generally, becoming nominated for a judgeship requires a strong history of legal practice and support from politicians. Some federal judges are appointed to life-long terms, while other federal, state or local judges have fixed or renewable terms of office. At the end of these terms, judges often either retire or teach law school.

judges may be required to complete state-administered introductory training or attend training programs led by legal organizations, such as the ABA, National Judicial College or National Center for State Courts.Most judges are required to complete continuing education courses throughout their careers to stay informed about changes to the law.

Hope this helped

all the best
