The exact role of the judge varies across cultures. In Cardassian society, the role of judge is filled by the Chief Archon. (DS9: "Tribunal") In most Federation societies judges have filled important roles throughout history and many judges, such as T'Pau and Aaron Satie, are revered figures in their cultures. (VOY: "Darkling"; TNG: "The Drumhead")

Q appeared as a judge in a post-atomic horror courtroom to the crew of the USS Enterprise-D in 2364. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

Martin Benbeck was considered to be something of a judge on Moab IV, as he had been genetically engineered to desire that role. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")

Someone who acts as an arbiter in contests, using their own judgment to subjective qualities to determine the winner, is also called a judge. Emony Dax was a judge in several gymnastics competitions. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
