Judges play a crucial role in policy making by interpreting and applying laws, which can influence public policy and societal norms. Through their rulings, particularly in landmark cases, judges can set legal precedents that shape the understanding of rights and responsibilities. Additionally, judicial decisions can prompt legislative changes by highlighting gaps or ambiguities in existing laws. Ultimately, while judges do not create policy directly, their interpretations can significantly impact the direction of public policy.
