The Constitution sets no specific requirements. However, members of Congress, who often recommend potential nominees, and the Department of Justice, which reviews nominees' qualifications, have developed their own informal criteria. The President also typically expresses ideas about essential qualifications and personal characteristics publicly, particularly when considering nominees to the appellate courts.

Has a president ever chosen a Supreme Court justice who was not a certified judge?
Yes, presidents have nominated Supreme Court justices who were not judges many times. The Constitution gives no qualifications for Supreme Court judges, so the President can nominate anyone he wants. Today, nominating judges is the norm, but that was not so in the past.
What are the qualifications for judges?
There are really only two qualifications for judges. They must be very well informed about the law, and they must be of good moral character.Actually, they need to be able to READ the plain language of the law (Codes) and APPLY/ENFORCE them as written - not re-interpret or twist them. Moral character does not apply, especially when it comes to courts not of record. (typically family courts)Another answer:There are no qualifications. If someone runs and is elected - or if they are appointed - they are a judge. They do not even need a high school degree, nor does a criminal record bar them.
