Generally, a judge is an elected official. To be a judge, one must campaign for the office and be elected.

The primary qualification for being a judge is that one first be a well-respected, accomplished lawyer in the community where he or she seeks to be a judge.

Not all judges are elected. Certain judges are appointed by political leaders.

Not all judges are lawyers. Judges in county, state, and federal courtrooms are lawyers, but town and village judges might not necessarily be lawyers. For example, a just-retired public school superintendent might run for office as a judge in his small town.
