I general terms, Judges are drawn from the better of the Lawyers.

Like a chippy could progress from hammer hand, to builder, to Master Builder. He's not gonna be a Master Builder if he's crap with the hammer.

My mistake when originally talking about Lawyers and Judges was that I assumed that people would know that the Judges are usually made from very good and honourable Lawyers .

Unlike in the states where you can be a Judge or a Sheriff by being voted for, qualifications not required.

Years ago in South Canterbury there were 2 master builders,good business men.Hold it,they never did their apprenticeships in carpentry.But sucked up the right people,smooth talked their way thru bank managers.Became very successfull.
