Judges, Magistrates, and Other Judicial Workers

Significant Points

A bachelor's degree and work experience are the minimum requirements for a judgeship or magistrate position, but most workers filling these positions also have law degrees.
Overall employment is projected to grow about as fast as the average, but varies by occupational specialty.
Judges and magistrates are expected encounter competition for jobs because of the prestige associated with serving on the bench.
