Do you want the technical answer or the practical answer?
The technical answer is no. Most judges are elected officials, others are appointed. Moreover, most jurisdictions (including the U.S. Supreme Court) have no requirement that you become a member of a bar.
However, the practical answer is yes. The likelihood of being elected judge with no legal experience is small, if at all. The likelihood of being appointed is non-existent.
