In most jurisdictions, a person who has been convicted of a felony is generally disqualified from becoming a judge. This disqualification is rooted in the belief that individuals holding judicial positions should possess a high level of integrity and moral character. However, laws vary by state, and some jurisdictions may allow for the restoration of rights after a certain period or through a pardon. Ultimately, the specific rules depend on local laws and regulations.
