Also yes I agree to other posters. Now I remember, I think we had covered this already some quite ago in another topic. This actually a battle of the giants, two publishing companies, and both Rowling and Arc are mere pawns in this game. So the correct title of this topic would be "Rowlings publisher wins over another publisher".

No ... the US has an entirely different system. In this country judges are either (1) elected or (2) appointed. It is not an absolute requirement, but most judges are also lawyers before they became judges. It helps to have some experience before the bench before you actually sit on it, and most attorneys appreciate a judge who was a lawyer in that specialty before they came to the bench (for example, I much prefer a judge with prior probate experience to hear a probate case ...).
There is no such thing as a "closed track" in our system. Someone who is a law sciences major can decide to go to law school and can end up on the bench, either elected or by appointment.
