You never hear about the judges that performed uniquely or heroically. Judge Brody hears cases where the American government is involved. Responsibilities include resolving legal disputes, presiding at jury and criminal trials, and administering the work of the criminal courts.
Most judges begin as lawyers and are appointed to the bench.
This appointment, depending on the level of the position, is done by either superior judges or by legislators. As a federal judge, Brody was appointed by the President. Judge Brody cites very few downsides in judicial law besides the reduction in pay from being an attorney. If you are appointed as a judge, chances are high that you are at a peak in your legal career, says Brody. This means that you are probably earning a rather handsome income.
