The judges and prophets had fundamentally distinct roles.
Judge: The primary role of judges was to arbitrate disputes between differing Israelite individuals or to serve as generals who could unite Israelite tribesmen to fight against common enemies. At the time when the judges operated, the Israelite tribes formed a confederacy and it was difficult to find individuals who could bridge the gaps between tribes and effectively resolve disputes with satisfaction (without being seen as loyal to one tribe over the others). For the same reason, it was difficult to unite different tribes to fight together, especially when an enemy only targeted one of the tribes. While some judges had strong prophetic communication with God, such as Gideon, others had one-sided communication like Samson, or no communication with God, like Deborah. Prophetic communication was not requisite to be a judge. Judges continued under the monarchy, but became more institutionalized and their military role was subsumed by the king and his leading generals.
Prophets: Prophets occurred much more sparsely and over a much longer period of time. Generally, prophets professed to be in communication with God and to be repeating His messages or directly conversing with Him. Most of these messages tended to fall into one of three general categories: (1) the laws that Israelites should follow, (2) admonishments for failing to follow the law or rewards for having followed the law, and (3) predictions of future events. Prophets served as a check to the Israelite Kings since they represented Divine Law, which was superior to any King's personal edicts.
