The presiding judge of a court is the top judge and manager of court operations. The presiding judge decides which judge will oversee which case hearings. This judge is also the top judge in a panel of three or more judges, which holds true in both federal appeals courts and state courts. The presiding judge performs many management functions for the court.
Judges and hearing officers typically do the following: 1  Research legal issues. 2  Read and evaluate information from documents, such as motions, claim applications, and records. 3  Preside over hearings and listen to and read arguments by opposing parties. 4  Determine if the information presented supports the charge, claim, or dispute.
