sole/single judge

Samosoudce means rather that there is no jury (i.e. the judge is alone).
Seconded by Millenium dico and I believe also pravnicky slovnik by Chroma.

self-judge

the sex of the judge would become apparent from the context
Peer comment(s):

disagree Matej Klimes : Try self-judge on Google - all you'll get is a bunch of japanese and Korean pages relating to tennis, I don't think this is a correct term - not a legal expert myself, but this sounds too much like a literal translation.

single judge/judge sitting alone

A single professional judge who decides on less serious criminal matters that fall within the powers of district courts.

In this case, the judge is female - Czech has separate words for males and females. A male "single judge" would be "samosoudce".
