Judges are like lords in law profession when acting in their official capacities presiding over a trial, signing search warrants etc. because, to the people with whom they interact in that judgeship capacity, they are the final authority (whether lawyer, jury, defendant, complainant, jury, peace officer, etc.), having the power to grant, deny, sustain, overrule, hear, not hear, sign, not sign, etc. So it is required to respect the judge whenever the judge enters the courtroom.
