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.
In United States district courts with at least two judges, the chief judge has certain administrative responsibilities, including presiding over some meetings of the judges. The chief judge remains an active judge of the court hearing and deciding cases, but may take on a reduced caseload to perform administrative tasks.
