One persevering as a judge? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trier

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'one persevering' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a judge?' is the second definition.
(trier is a kind of judge)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for trier that I've seen before include "Persevering type" , "German town, the capital of the northern empire in Roman times" , "Determined person" , "home for some Germans" , "Person attempting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
