                     HOW TO BECOME 
A JUDGE
O Y E B I S I  F O L A Y E M I  O M O L E Y E
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE 
WORRY ABOUT THE 
SELECTION PROCEDURE 
FOR JUDGES. OR WHAT 
REQUIREMENTS MUST YOU 
MEET TO BECOME A 
JUDGE? A BACHELOR'S 
DEGREE IS ADDITIONALLY 
REQUIRED TO WORK AS A 
JUDGE. YOU MUST 
COMPLETE A FEW STEPS 
TO BECOME A JUDGE.
JUDGES OVERSEE AND MANAGE 
THE LEGAL PROCEDURE IN THE 
COURTROOM. JUDGES AND 
MAGISTRATES PRESIDE OVER 
CASES INVOLVING VARIOUS 
SOCIAL ISSUES, SUCH AS TRAFFIC 
INFRACTIONS, DISAGREEMENTS 
OVER THE ADMINISTRATION OF 
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS, AND 
CONCERNS REGARDING THE 
LEGAL RIGHTS OF WELL-KNOWN 
CORPORATIONS.
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
It would be better if you were a practicing attorney before you were a 
judge. For most state and federal judges, attending law school and 
passing the required exam are requirements. In forty states, non-
lawyers can apply for local jurisdiction judgeships, but those with legal 
training have a better chance. 
Each state offers a range of orientation programs 
for newly elected judges that may be similar or 
different. The American Bar Association, the 
Federal Judicial Center, the National Center for 
State courts, and the National Judicial College 
offer judicial training and teaching. 
OYEBISI FOLAYEMI OMOLEYE IS A 
JUDGE WHO ASSISTS PEOPLE IN 
GETTING THEIR LEGAL CASES 
RESOLVED PROFESSIONALLY. SHE 
IS A MEMBER OF THE PANEL THAT 
DISSOLVED THE EDO LAW 
REVIEW COMMISSION CASE.
