And then there are motions for a JMOL (see FRCP 50), where a judge has to decide whether a “reasonable jury” could have a legally sufficient basis to find in favor of a party.
Law as the verkehrte Welt of itself. :)
Judges typically consider matters of law. Usually “reasonable” is a cue that you are discussing a matter of fact, which is the province of the jury.
Sometimes you will have something called a bench trial, where it is agreed that the judge will also serve the role of the fact finder, and there will be no jury.
