They served as Judges, as military leaders when the nation was under threat, and as spiritual leaders. The Judges served for about 365 years, from the death of Joshua until the time of King Saul.

In addition to the above, there have been regular judges, from the time of Moses (Exodus ch.18) down to this day. These are Torah-scholars whose function is to adjudicate disputes according to Torah-procedure.
