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.

I disagree, very good lawyers for the most part will follow the $$$ and that is not becoming a judge (typically it's working for a big corp or big law firm).

Judge is a career path for average or less than average lawyers.

Like I've said, I've known a few lawyers in my time (personal not in their role as lawyers) as well as done some work for large law firms (including some who ended up being in the news).
