What does JUDGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A public official with authority to hear cases and decide questions of law in a court.
A judge presides over a court, listens to the evidence and arguments presented by both sides, and then decides the case according to law, either alone or by directing a jury. Outside a courtroom the same word describes anyone asked to weigh the merits of something, such as a judge at a competition or a person whose opinion on quality is trusted. The verb built from the same word, to judge, covers both the formal legal sense and this everyday sense of forming and giving an opinion.
