They were judging as the their title says! Judges were before the kings of Israel.
These were the people God chose at a given time to lead the nation of Israel since there were no human kings at the time leading the nation of Israel.
They didn't necessarily have to be prophets but rather chosen by God to fight (sometimes) or lead the Israelites into battle or even quarrels among themselves. They were not revered like kings such as Saul, David or Solomon.
Samson and Gideon were also judges. Famous judges include Samuel and Eli. As a matter of fact, 12 people are identified as judges by the Book of Judges. Please read this book for more details.
Wikipedia gives a clear explanation too: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_judges
But I recommend you read The Bible (the book of Judges) for this kind of information.
