In what country are they not required to have gone through law school?
Magistrate Judges can be literally anyone in the US
I'm guessing 'Murica
In France we you appeal you get judged by other citizens drawn at random. One of the best systems we have
Not trying to be a jerk. Please take this as kindly as it is meant.
The past tense of "draw" is "drawn." It is an irregular verb in English.
Silly English.
This didn't make sense to me until I drew a picture
Thank you for expanding on my point. "Drawn" is the past participle, which must be used in passive constructions such as the above. "Drew" is simple past tense.
It’s the difference between past tense, and past participle. “I drew a picture” vs “the picture was drawn”.
I learned that from Batman.
Hey! That's a great scene to remember it by. I'm going to to use this in my lesson about this verb next year. Students will love it.

Thanks, Pipey.
IIRC, the International Criminal Court. They accept judges that would be qualified in their home country. With the US stepping out of it, one of the ICC's biggest funders is Japan. They have a history of paneling judges who are just people of the community with no specific legal training . Maybe that works for them, but it meant some unqualified judges were sent to the ICC from Japan. The ICC isn't in a position to stop them, given the funding situation.
