Why is it masculine?

Jueces is masculine because it derives from Latin "iudex" (judge), which was grammatically masculine; Spanish inherited this gender assignment along with the word itself. The word retained its masculine gender even though the -z ending doesn't inherently mark gender in Spanish, making it a historical exception that reflects its Latin origins.
