Federal judges, as in this case, are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Many state and local judges are elected, most subject to a requirement that they completed law school and passed the applicable bar examination. Neither process guarantees that a judge is well qualified or that a well qualified and experienced judge will not make a mistake.
