A quick definition of trial judge:

A trial judge is the person who makes decisions in a court case. They listen to arguments from both sides, decide what evidence can be used, choose the jury, and make sure the trial is fair. They also decide if someone is guilty or not guilty in a criminal case or who wins in a civil case. If someone disagrees with the trial judge's decision, they can ask a higher court to review it. In some places, the trial judge is called a district court judge or a Supreme Court Justice.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A trial judge is a judge who presides over a trial court. They are responsible for hearing cases before they can be appealed to higher courts. The trial judge makes important decisions such as whether evidence can be used in court, selecting the jury, and deciding questions of law. In some cases, the trial judge may also decide questions of fact, such as delivering a verdict in a criminal case or summary judgment in a civil case. However, litigants have the right to appeal the decisions of the trial judge.

Example: In a criminal trial, the trial judge will listen to the evidence presented by both the prosecution and defense. They will then decide if the evidence is admissible or not. If the evidence is admissible, the trial judge will empanel the jury and preside over the trial. At the end of the trial, the trial judge will deliver a verdict.

Example: In a civil trial, the trial judge will listen to the evidence presented by both parties. They will then decide if the evidence is admissible or not. If the evidence is admissible, the trial judge will preside over the trial and decide questions of law. At the end of the trial, the trial judge will deliver a summary judgment.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how the trial judge is responsible for making important decisions during a trial. They decide whether evidence can be used in court, select the jury, preside over the trial, and deliver a verdict or summary judgment. The trial judge plays a crucial role in ensuring that the trial is fair and just for all parties involved.
