County Judge Marvin Day

Tyler Watkins & Lindsey Bowman

What does a county judge even do? Many think that they preside over courts or that they have a background in law. While they do still preside over some courts, we learned from Marvin that there's no law degree required, but there's a LOT of other jobs that fall onto the County Judge's plate. We dive into a handful of those tasks (hello county roads), how the county's responsibilities differ from the city's and exactly what it takes to become a county judge.
