I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'seat' is the first definition.
(I know that bench is a type of seat)

'judge' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bench that I've seen before include "Group of magistrates" , "Exhibit at dog show" , "Pew or settle" , "Plain, stout work-table" , "Long seat or worktable" .)
