The U.S. Constitution guides the process for confirming a federal judge, but does not specify qualifications. Notably, a federal judge is not required to possess a law degree unless he serves as magistrate or bankruptcy judge. In most cases, those who assess judicial candidates apply their own criteria. As such, presidents and members of Congress develop their own standards for federal judgeships.
