Best Answer

There are no official constitutional or legal qualifications required of federal judges, but Congress and the President follow their own informal guidelines. Generally, federal judges are first appointed during middle age, after they've gained experience practicing as lawyers or presiding over state or other types of courts.

The US government estimates the typical age of first appointment to the federal bench is 49 years.

There are no age requirements, other than to be qualified. You do have to be an adult, 18 in most places.

there are no age requirements. Most of them are in their 40's, 50's, and 60's.
