The applicant argued that his three years as a prosecutor should count toward the fifteen-year requirement under Article 64a of the Judges Law. The court held that 'judicial service' strictly requires actual performance of the judge's role, excluding other legal professions due to differing skill requirements and disciplinary risks.
