The game of BitLife really does seem to have every occupation you can think of, including the many years spent becoming a judge. It’s a pretty tough road there, though, but it’s worth the trouble if you’re doing it for the sake of a challenge, like Judy the Judge. Working your way up the ladder starts way before you even break into the market, requiring both law school and college. As long as your Bitizen is intelligent, becoming a judge in BitLife is almost a sure thing.

Before we start, I’ll give you the general gist of what it takes to become a judge in BitLife. You’ll be hitting numerous milestones:
- Be born relatively intelligent
- Study hard in high school
- Go to college for criminal justice
- Attending law school
- Serving the people for several years and being promoted
What truly matters is your Bitizen’s Smarts stat. The entire path hinges on it. Don’t create a character with a Smarts stat lower than 50%, although closer to 100% is preferable. You’ll be studying a lot, so your Smart stat will increase over time, but a head start is a head start.
In school, keep your nose out of trouble and no drugs. Having a record is going to count against you and the drugs will decrease your Smarts stat. Every year, you should: read books, visit the library, and study in school. You’ll find those under the Activities tab.
After you’re fresh out of high school, you’re off to college to study Criminal Justice, although English and Political Science work, too. You should be maintaining your Smarts stat at the same time, above 70%. At the end of your four years, apply for law school.
Once law school is over, it’s time to put your hands to work. You need a job and that fancy degree will get you a cushy job as a law clerk or a junior associate. Like school, work hard at your job and take those promotions for the next 30 years. That’ll give you the background needed to become magistrate—in other words, a judge.
You can go even further! After a couple years you could be promoted to a district court judge and further still, the Chief Justice.
