Question

How tall is thecourt judge's bench? Where did the name Bench come from?

Answer 1

You make a huge assumption, if you think that there is any standard height for a judge's bench.  In many locations, it is a simple desk, about one meter in height.

Bench, because in early court settings, there were many judges and they sat side by side on a bench.
