How to become a judge in BitLife

The hardest part is having the patience to work that long.

Most careers in BitLife are easy to pursue if you take the right university classes and get lucky with your job lists. However, a few are tough, with the judge or magistrate position being one of the most challenging to land unless you’re fully prepared for the entire process.

How to become a judge in BitLife

Becoming a judge in BitLife requires going to university, enroling in Law School, and working as an associate for 30 years. You’ll become eligible for the Magistrate job after finishing these requirements, landing you a judge position and completing any achievements, challenge tasks, or scavenger hunt objectives you currently have.

The first part of becoming a judge is entering university and pursuing a degree in criminal justice, English, or political science. My go-to is criminal justice since it feels the most fitting for this particular role, but it’s up to you which you do, as long as it fits one of these options. The Golden Diploma will make this slightly easier but isn’t required.

Once you finish your four-year degree, your next goal is finishing Law School. You’ll find it in the same menu as the university, and the process of joining is the same. If possible, try to go for a scholarship, or else the student loan payments can hurt you later.

The next step is finding a job as a Junior Associate so you can gain some work experience. Becoming a full-fledged judge requires a whopping 30 years of experience, so a Junior Associate is the perfect place to start for now. Over time, you’ll gain various pay raises and promotions, but your goal is to keep this job for 30 years. In other words, work hard, and don’t do anything that’ll get you fired.

Once you spend 30 years working as an Associate, look for Magistrate in your job list. If you don’t see it right away, close and re-open the BitLife app or age up until you spot it. After finding it, apply for the job and pass the interview one last time to land the job and become a judge.
