Why is it masculine?

Juges is masculine because it derives from Latin "iudex" (masculine). French retained the masculine gender from its Latin ancestor despite the word ending in "-e", which is typically a feminine ending in French. This is an exception to the general pattern, as the Latin masculine gender was preserved rather than triggering a feminine agreement based on the modern French "-e" ending.
