    Being a judge practically requires having a law degree as a prerequisite (and also convincing whoever appoints judges to appoint you or convincing people to elect you), being a politician requires actually convincing people to vote for you, also lots of funding for advertising. Much more difficult than being a lawyer.

      Agreed, only reason I suggested this is because as a lawyer, you will at most practice in just one district. In a country with thousands of districts. Even then you may not get a lot of clients who you seek to help against unjust laws, because they have to select you too and it’s a free market. Would just be impractical to make a big difference.
