How to become a Judge?
The highest and most prestigious post in India's legal and judicial system is that of judge. Judges are unbiased decision-makers who rule on legal problems, function as a referee between litigating parties, and render decisions in legal disputes in the pursuit of justice.
'Judge' and 'Magistrate' are frequently misunderstood and assumed to be interchangeable. However, the terms have two distinct meanings and refer to two distinct positions and levels of power. A judge is a person who, depending on the jurisdiction, preside over court proceedings alone, with a panel of judges, or with a jury and has additional administrative authority and is in charge of criminal cases, federal cases, constitutional cases, and high-priority matters and is expected to hear all witnesses, examine all evidence, listen to the prosecutor and defendant's arguments, make an opinion, and render a decision. A magistrate is an officer of the state who is in charge of dealing with minor and minor cases. In Magistrate Courts, the Judge appoints the Magistrate, who has limited authority, law enforcement, and jurisdiction and they does not have the same authority as a judge.
To become a judge in India, one must pass the Judicial Services Examination, also known as the PCS (J)-Provincial Civil Service-Judicial Examination, which is held by each Indian state's Public Service Commission and the exam has three phases like preliminary exams, mains exams and Viva – Voce.
To take this exam, you must have a law degree from a reputable institution or university and be registered as an advocate with the state bar council's association. The age limit for taking the exam, however, may differ from state to state.
Judges are custodians of justice through the legal framework. They are respected in the society for the role and is a rewarding career with facilities including travel, housing, personal staff and others.
