to sit on the bench biti sudac

Explanation:
Vukićević B, Pravni rečnik:
sit on the bench (to) - biti sudija
sit on the hearing (to) - predsedavati na suđenju
sitting - suđenje, ročište, rasprava, sednica, zasedanje
sitting justice - aktivni sudija
sitting(s) of the court/tribunal - zasedanje suda

Na osnovi konteksta, mislim da se ovdje radi o prestanku funkcije (rada) suca , a ne o zasjedanju suda, a i Statute of the International Court of Justice (Article 35) govori upravo o postavljenju/razrješenju sudaca:
