Sometimes the judges were chosen directly by God (Judges ch.6) or by the people (Judges ch.11). At other times, the judge simply stepped forward and briefly assumed leadership. Most of the time, the judges were great in piety and Torah-scholarship (Exodus 18), so there was no question that they deserved to lead.

In legal systems, major judges typically refer to judges who preside over higher courts, such as appellate or supreme courts, while minor judges are judges who preside over lower courts, such as district or municipal courts. Major judges often handle more complex cases and have the authority to review decisions made by lower courts, while minor judges primarily handle less serious cases and have limited jurisdiction. The distinction between major and minor judges is based on the level of court they preside over and the scope of their judicial authority.

Good judgment and patience are important.Judges do most of their work in offices, law libraries, and courtrooms. Most judges wear robes when they are in a courtroom. Judges often work a 40-hour week.
