A quick definition of circuit judge:

A circuit judge is a public official who hears and decides legal matters in court. They are appointed or elected to their position and are responsible for presiding over court cases. Circuit judges can be federal judges who sit on a U.S. court of appeals or special judges added to a court for the purpose of holding trials. They are sometimes referred to as a C.J. and are responsible for overseeing the administration of the court.

A more thorough explanation:

A circuit judge is a public official who is appointed or elected to hear and decide legal matters in court. They are named as such in their commission and preside over a court. The term "judge" is often used interchangeably with "court."

For example, a federal judge who sits on a U.S. court of appeals is a circuit judge. They are responsible for hearing and deciding cases that are appealed from lower courts within their circuit. Another example is a family court judge who has jurisdiction exclusively over matters involving domestic relations, such as divorce and child custody matters.

Overall, a circuit judge is an important figure in the legal system who ensures that justice is served in a fair and impartial manner.
