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.
