Judges
Judges in America are chosen from the ranks of lawyers, not, as in some other countries, from a specially trained civil service. Depending on the judicial position, some judges may be appointed by federal, state and local executives, while other judges are elected directly by the people. Each of the 50 states has a separate system, which itself blends in with the federal system. Next Section: A Lot of Laws Government and Law: Chapter Home
