A simple explanation of what a judge is, their responsibilities, and why they are important in our lives, designed for 6-year-old children.
A judge is a special person who helps decide if someone did something wrong or if they followed the rules. Think of them like referees in a game. Just as referees keep the game fair and make sure everyone plays by the rules, judges help make sure that people follow the laws and do what is right.
Judges are important because they help keep our community safe. When someone breaks the rules, a judge listens to what everyone says, looks at the evidence, and then makes a decision. This way, people know what is right and wrong. Judges help us understand that if someone does a bad thing, there will be consequences, just like if you break a school rule, you might have to sit out of recess.
