In the judicial administration, the term "bench" refers to the judges. The "bench" in a courtroom typically refers to the raised platform where the judge or panel of judges sits during a trial or hearing. The term "bench" is also used to refer to the judges themselves, especially in the context of a higher court or appellate court. When a case is heard "before the bench," it means that it is being heard by the judges, who will make the final decision based on the facts and the law. The term "bar," on the other hand, is used to refer to the lawyers who practice before the court.
