Can a person practice being a lawyer and a judge at the same time?

Answer 1

Sometimes.

If a person is a part time judge, such as in a city court, they frequently only serve as a judge on a few occasions per week, and spend the remainder of their time practicing law.

Answer 2

Yes. Many jurisdications and courts require judges to be lawyers, though this is not always true (for instance in certain magistrate courts). However, a judge who is a lawyer will not have a serparate legal practice due to the conflicts of interest which would arise from him being on the bench and also having a private practice.

Answer 3

Because the judge is out of neutrality, he can not be a lawyer as long as he is employed by the judiciary.
