No. The Constitution allows federal judges to be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors," the same as the US President.

The Judiciary Act of 1801 reorganized the federal court system and added six new circuit courts that relieved the Supreme Court justices of their circuit riding responsibilities and shifted some judicial power from the states to the federal government.

Article III, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the reduction of compensation for federal judges. The majority of states have similar provisions.

Do administrative law judges in New Jersey have to be licensed lawyers?

Most judges have first been lawyers. In fact, Federal and State judges usually are required to be lawyers, which means that they have attended law school and passed an examination. About 40 States allow nonlawyers to hold limited-jurisdiction judgeships, but opportunities are better for those with law experience. Federal administrative law judges must be lawyers and pass a competitive examination administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Some State administrative law judges and other hearing officials are not required to be lawyers. All States have some type of orientation for newly elected or appointed judges. The Federal Judicial Center, American Bar Association, National Judicial College, and National Center for State Courts provide judicial education and training for judges and other judicial-branch personnel. General and continuing education courses usually last from a few days to 3 weeks. More than half of all States, as well as Puerto Rico, require judges to take continuing education courses while serving on the bench.
