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.
The term the court is also used to refer to the presiding officer or officials, usually one or more judges. The judge or panel of judges may also be collectively referred to as the bench (in contrast to attorneys and barristers, collectively referred to as the bar).
