Judges... The fact they aren't required to have gone through law school is horrifying.
This is somewhat location specific, each American state has their own rules for the judges, and some require law school and legal experience.
In what country are they not required to have gone through law school?
Magistrate Judges can be literally anyone in the US
I'm guessing 'Murica
In France we you appeal you get judged by other citizens drawn at random. One of the best systems we have
Not trying to be a jerk. Please take this as kindly as it is meant.
The past tense of "draw" is "drawn." It is an irregular verb in English.
Silly English.
This didn't make sense to me until I drew a picture
Thank you for expanding on my point. "Drawn" is the past participle, which must be used in passive constructions such as the above. "Drew" is simple past tense.
It’s the difference between past tense, and past participle. “I drew a picture” vs “the picture was drawn”.
I learned that from Batman.
Hey! That's a great scene to remember it by. I'm going to to use this in my lesson about this verb next year. Students will love it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Thanks, Pipey.
IIRC, the International Criminal Court. They accept judges that would be qualified in their home country. With the US stepping out of it, one of the ICC's biggest funders is Japan. They have a history of paneling judges who are just people of the community with no specific legal training . Maybe that works for them, but it meant some unqualified judges were sent to the ICC from Japan. The ICC isn't in a position to stop them, given the funding situation.

While thats technically allowed in Canada. When the Conservative party tried to do it under Harper and then-minister Poilievre to start stacking the court system with cronies, every part of the system raised hell enough for evem those religious nutters to back off.
I wonder if that’s one of those things where everyone thought it didn’t need to be codified, because “of course you would select someone qualified”, until modern politics proved that false
In my state, I see that seems to have held true
Specify the country. Here (NL) judges must have gone through law school.
