法官 (fǎ guān) — judge (in court) | TongTong Chinese Dictionary

Definition

法官 (fǎguān) specifically refers to a judge in a court of law — a legal professional who presides over trials. This contrasts with 裁判 (cáipàn), a sports referee or judge, and 评委 (píngwěi), a panel member who evaluates competitions. All may be called 'judge' in English, but 法官 is strictly for the legal context.
