Judge

As a judge, you run court hearings and decide what happens in legal cases. You listen carefully to both sides of an argument, read evidence, and apply the law to reach a fair decision. Your job is to make sure everyone gets a fair hearing and that the law is applied correctly. It's one of the most important jobs in the legal system.

Your day in court involves managing the hearing, asking questions to understand the facts, considering the arguments from both sides, and then making a decision. After the hearing, you write a detailed judgment explaining your decision and why you made it - this document becomes part of the legal record and might be read by other courts. The work is serious and sometimes involves difficult situations, but knowing you've helped deliver justice fairly makes it worthwhile. To become a judge you'll need many years of experience as a lawyer first.
