In the U.S., judges go to law school just like lawyers. The standard course of law school study is 3 years.

However, very few people become judges straight out of law school - they usually practice law for many years and develop a reputation for being an excellent lawyer, with extensive legal knowledge, before they have a chance of becoming a judge.

How long does a Lawyer need to be a Judge?

Most judges are qualified attorneys. Which means a 4 year bachelor's degree and the three year law degree. But those that appoint or elect judges don't have to give it to someone that has a law degree. They could appoint a high school drop out, but it wouldn't go over very well, and they would probably fail any confirmation hearings.
