Legally, no judge, commissioner or other officer of the court can render judgment. This is the sole responsibility of a jury. In some cases, judges may overturn a judgment if they have a legitimate reason to do so. U.S. law does not allow random judgments. A random judgment is a judgment that has been determined not by deliberation, but by some form of chance, such as throwing a coin or drawing lots. While such penalties were once acceptable, they are now illegal. In a jury trial, a judgment is an order of the presiding judge who presides over the jury to make a particular verdict. Generally, the judge orders a directed verdict after determining that no reasonable jury could make a contrary decision. After a verdict, the jury no longer needs to decide on the case. Similar to an injunction, it is a short-term order issued by a judge prohibiting certain actions until a full hearing can be held. Often referred to as TRO.
