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 have law degrees and some are elected; training requirements for arbitrators, mediators, and conciliators vary.
  • Overall employment is projected to grow more slowly than average, but this varies by occupational specialty.
  • Competition is expected for judge or magistrate jobs because of the prestige associated with serving on the bench.
