Judge Rank is an official Judge Simulator progression system. The experience description says you can upgrade your Judge Rank, and Roblox lists an enabled badge named Tier 2 Judge. No first-party source publishes the full tier order, requirements, prices, benefits, or maximum Rank. Use the current promotion screen as the source for exact values and record one tier at a time.

Do not turn promotional “Noob Judge vs Rich Judge” imagery into a Rank list. It signals progression and status, not exact tier names.
Read a promotion screen before paying
Record the current Rank, next displayed Rank, required Money, Influence, cases, reward, or other condition, and every stated unlock. If the screen includes a confirmation warning, read whether promotion is permanent or refundable. Leave any absent field blank.
Capture the displayed requirement before spending. Early Access values can change, and a screenshot without a date can outlive the build that used it.
Verify the Tier 2 Judge badge
Before the promotion that appears to reach Tier 2, check your Roblox badge inventory. Record your current Rank and all requirements. Complete the promotion, let the interface finish, and observe whether the badge arrives at purchase, confirmation, the next case, or a lobby transition.
The badge name does not prove which button grants it. It may track the actual Rank state rather than a specific purchase action. Confirm ownership outside the popup. If it arrives late, preserve the approximate time and avoid claiming that the last unrelated action was the trigger.
In multiplayer, Rank should be checked per account. Server membership does not prove shared promotion. Do not ask another player to spend resources merely to reproduce the award.
Decide whether to promote now
Promote when the interface clearly shows a requirement you meet and an unlock that helps the next goal. Wait when the benefit is unclear and the same Money or Influence may be needed for a courtroom or another functional upgrade. Keep a reserve if the purchase cannot be previewed.
Compare the next blocker: a case requirement, courtroom access, reward source, leaderboard target, or Rank gate. Do not promote solely because a badge exists. The badge is a milestone, not evidence that the purchase is the best immediate use of resources.
The Money and Influence guide helps compare spending, while Courtrooms separates Rank requirements from room upgrades.
Test what a Rank changes
After promotion, revisit the screens that displayed locked content. Check courtroom choices, case access, reward panels, earnings text, and leaderboards. Then complete one comparable case and record any difference. Keep other upgrades stable.
Do not infer a multiplier from a larger payout unless the case, verdict, bonuses, and event state match. Do not infer a new case pool from seeing one unfamiliar case. A Rank can correlate with a change without being its confirmed cause.
If the promotion changes only the displayed title in your first test, record that. A later feature may still use the Rank, but an unstated benefit should not be invented.
Build a Rank index responsibly
Each verified entry needs the exact name, order, prerequisite, cost, stated unlock, observed result, version, and confidence. A complete table requires evidence for both ends: what the game promises and what becomes usable. Unknown maximum and missing tiers remain blank.
Use one canonical Rank page rather than separate pages for spelling variations or badge wording. If a later patch renames a tier, keep the old name in a dated note under the same progression step when identity is clear.
Mark values In-game verified only after direct current observation. A single current screenshot can support Community reported with its limitations; it should not become Official unless a creator source states it.
Fix Rank problems
If the promotion button is disabled, read the unmet requirement and check that each resource value has finished updating. If a prerequisite is ambiguous, finish the current case or result flow before spending elsewhere. Do not repeatedly click a permanent purchase.
If the displayed Rank changes but the promised unlock does not appear, check the relevant menu after a normal transition or fresh server. Record both states for a bug report. If the Tier 2 badge is missing, verify the Roblox inventory and exact Rank before retrying any route.
If a guide’s requirement differs, compare dates and Place ID. Another Judge Simulator or an older Early Access build is not authoritative for your screen.
Rank FAQ
What is the maximum Judge Rank?
No verified first-party maximum is public. Use the current interface and do not extrapolate beyond displayed tiers.
How do I become a Tier 2 Judge?
Follow the live Rank promotion requirement and verify the official badge after reaching the corresponding state. Exact cost and award timing need in-game confirmation.
Does Rank reset?
No public source describes a reset, prestige, or seasonal rule. Record any warning before a promotion or update.
Does higher Rank increase rewards?
That is not documented. Compare the same kind of case and modifiers before and after one promotion.
Evidence level: Rank upgrades and the Tier 2 Judge badge are Official. Tier names, costs, unlocks, maximum, multipliers, resets, and award timing require current in-game testing.
