Phoenix Wright and Edgeworth used the Courtroom 4 because all the other courtrooms were filled. So why is the main judge able to preside over Athena's trial? Since he and his brother are the only judges we've seen, you'd think he would be attending one of those official trials.

Simple answer: there are more judges than courtrooms.
Just because we've only seen 3 judges in the series, it doesn't mean there aren't more.
(This is true for a lot of professions in the games actually).

That said, it's strange that the same judge is presiding over nearly all of the trials we see. It's either an unbelievable coincidence, or there is some conspiracy going on...

This "unofficial" trial was much more interesting, that's why. Any trial between Wright and Edgeworth is bound to be interesting. His experience says so.

What if there's a whole bunch of different judges, but they just happen to look exactly the same?

And Act the same.

I thought from the title this was gonna question Why a Judge (a valuable and limited resource of the courtroom) would be assigned to...

Spoiler: Case 5
...what is ultimately a fake trial. Though I guess Aura wouldn't have it any other way.

Udgey just loves drama. It's always bothered me that Wright and Edgeworth never tell him about the Maya situation in 2-4, actually. He'd be all for that and would be perfectly willing to stall the trial while Gumshoe went on De Killer's trail. He'd probably even shout out at one point, "I admit! I'm the man who hired the assassin!"

Wasn't it mentioned that Ema became a detective because they were supposedly "running low" on detectives?

I thought it was a fallback plan for her because she utterly failed the actual forensics exam...probably something to do with making everyone else do the work for her all the time.

He didn't. He switched places with another identical judge. What if there's some sort of mass conspiracy behind all this? Some government organization that's producing judge clones of varying mental capabilities so they can manipulate the trials however they please? I've been watching too much Gravity Falls.

She said he got "stuffed" into Criminal Affairs, so maybe they were short on detectives and they wanted to make use of her skills.

Ahem... Perhaps I can give a more plausible explanation than that the judges all look the same...

Our dear Udgey is the senior judge. We'll just assume this, or at least assume he has the most experience. Due to his exceeding experience, he is assigned to many cases, such as Mayor Tenma's case, Juniper's case, Mr. Starbuck's case, the bombing case... That's a lot of cases, though. Therefore, when the issue arose that all other courtrooms were in use, this is my idea: the judge was allowed a break for that day for presiding over so many trials in a such a small amount of time. As such, all of the other judges were already presiding over the other cases. Then, when a judge was needed for the case, he was chosen over the other available judges because of his experience with crazy cases like that.

Or not. Honestly, it could be that Udgey has learned that these three lawyers always win, so he always presides over them.

According to my horrible fanfiction, the judge is so madly in love with Phoenix that he would never, in his right mind, think of ever presiding over another case that has anything to do with anyone other than Phoenix or those remotely related to him in hopes of getting in touch with Phoenix. In fact, unbeknownst to everyone else, after Phoenix's disbarment, the judge, distraught over the loss of his beloved, took a 7 year break in search to find his true inner self, and only returned in Apollo Justice when he heard that Phoenix was to be accused of murder. Phoenix meddling with Apollo brought hope to the judge's eyes that one day his beloved would return to court.

And if you wonder about those penalties, they're not punishments. They're just "love penalties."

I just thought that since this was pre-Phoenix, perhaps back then he was just doing his job. I mean c'mon, you think there was anyone in that case he could possibly be attracted to? Von Karma ain't got nothin' on Phoenix.

Aw, don't break the hearts of fans who ship Udgey and VK. It's a surprisingly sweet and touching pairing after you get through the discomfort of picturing them in a S/M relationship.

But I suppose that would get on the nerves of those who ship him with Gant. Yes, it's quite heart-wrenching when one can't decide which one is more perfect.

But I suppose if Phoenix doesn't like his great-granddad as much, I guess we could put him with the old man who gives him the most migraines. That said, if I sound bitter about it in any way, it's just your imagination.

From memory of the gameplay trailers, I'm fairly certain they're different judges. Interestingly enough, though, I think the Dai Gyakuten Saiban judge bears an uncanny resemblance to the PLvsAA judge of the first trial. Makes sense, seeing as they're both English judges.

Maybe they're the same guy.
Edit: So I looked at the gameplay trailers again, and apparently, the DGS judge looks like a cross between Udgey and the PLvsAA first trial judge. Pics for reference-

PLvsAA First trial Judge

Definitely leaning more to the PLvsAA side, though.

Because secretly there was a 4th best friend to Phoenix and pals in school, it was the judge, but since he was a janitor, he couldn't go announcing that he was friends with some 9 year olds. :yogi:

You know what just occurred to me? Fulbright claims that all the courtrooms are in use when Aura demands an immediate retrial, and yet it's well into the evening by that time. Considering that trials in the series generally start in the morning and run for a few hours, wouldn't there have been plenty of courtrooms available by then?

New theory:
Spoiler:
The Phantom quickly made that up in a desperate attempt to prevent Simon's retrial.
