Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Stacie Royer and I'm a career specialist from Austin, Texas. I'm going to talk to you today about how to become a judge. The first thing that you'll need to know is that you'll have to become an attorney by receiving your juris doctorate degree from an accredited university. From that point you'll need to pass the bar exam and practice as an attorney. At that point you can decide what court you want to work for, there are many different courts to choose from you can work starting from the city level and go on all the way up to county, district, state, or even U.S. From that point you'll need to apply for a judgeship and you'll also need the political support because this type of position will require you to become appointed or elected by your local citizens into this position. Once you become a judge then you will need to continue your legal education to contain or obtain the knowledge of all of the different changing statutes and different court requirements that your state requires. And that is how you become a judge."
