We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
"privilege" is not an argument against everything. For this guy/ girl to have a problem, they don't need to be as poor as to not afford two square meals.
Someone spent their hard earned money, and they equally have a case for concern. They are not as privileged to afford not being selected as a judge, unlike others who have forefathers in the profession.
Just because there are other arguments doesn't make someone's subjective experience bogus. Grow up.
Can it be expected that a person becomes a full-time litigator and then clears DJS on the side? As if its that easy? This will only mean that those who can get their attendance marked in a few orders here and there, while studying full time, will have an advantage.
Moreover, can the training of magistrates not be made more rigorous?
Many government jobs are about career progression and this will make judiciary less attractive to people who care about this.
If, by the time someone is selected, they are already quite old (considering it takes 2 attempts on average to clear + another 1+ year of the selection process), some people might be 29-30 by the time they hold the chair for the first time! thats not lucrative at all for most law graduates.
