Becoming a judge in England and Wales: An Introduction
In England and Wales, judges are drawn from existing lawyers who already have experience in professional practice or law-related activity. This is the general position in common law jurisdictions, where there is no route to become a judge through a graduate programme as is available in many civil or Roman law jurisdictions. Furthermore, traditionally most lawyers have joined the judiciary by first taking a fee-paid post, sitting for a few weeks each year, before considering a salaried judicial career.
