How long would it take for a judge to be 'selected'?

See going as a judge would not be a career path, I would see it is an achievement, best to be the best barrister or lawyer you can. Becuase of rule of law, Judges are chosen based on Merit.

I would get seek some more info from www.judcom.nsw.gov.au (NSW Judicial Commission) about judges.

Im thinking between 20-30 years as a barrister

Quite a while really. I don't want to be one becuase of my political ambition, it woudl cause a conflict of interest, i prefer to get the title "The Honourable" another way. lol

in other words, u have to be an old fart in order to be a judge!

 

[adamj]

No. Anyone who has been admitted as a legal practitioner can be a barrister. You just need to do a reading course followed by an exam.

Go to the Bar Association for more info: www.nswbar.asn.au
