County Court Judge
For some reason, I've always thought it would be wonderful to be a county judge. Is there a particular track that most judges take? Like usually judges are first prosecutors, and then become a candidate for judge?

Re: County Court Judge
From what I have heard, the best path is to be a DA

Re: County Court Judge
I think it will depend on whether judges are elected or not in your county. If they are elected then some kind of public service/government position would probably be ideal.

Re: County Court Judge
I live in a state where all but two counties elect judges. Why would it be different if the county appoints its judges or elects them?

Re: County Court Judge
Where they are appointed it is much more of a networking game from my understanding. Cynics say that the only way to really win a judicial election is to have a name near the top of the list, because so few voters actually know or care about who becomes a judge. That being said, many former prosecutors become judges from the tough on crime angle.
