Each state within the United States has its own unique judicial selection process within its own court system.

different kinds of courts within your specific state.
2. Choose a second state (North Carolina), and describe the qualifications and the selection process for judges within that state.
3. Compare and contrast for both states the qualifications necessary for a prospective candidate to become a judge. Next, identify the steps that the relevant persons

/ entities need to take in order to remove a judge from office for disciplinary reasons for each state.
4. Justify the selection process for the state that you believe has the best system in place. Justify the response.
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.
