Associate Judges

Associate Judges are judges who serve alongside a chief judge or presiding judge in a court. They handle cases, make legal decisions, and contribute to the court's rulings, often focusing on specific areas of law. In many jurisdictions, they may participate in both trial and appellate courts, ensuring a balanced and fair legal process. Their role is crucial in managing case loads, providing diverse perspectives, and ensuring the judiciary functions effectively. Associate Judges may be appointed or elected, depending on the legal system of the region they serve in.
