My friend and I were wondering. You know when the courtroom is noisy and then the judges bangs his hammerlike thing on a raised bump? What is the bump called?

What a good question - always good when you have to think... it's a gavel and block or sound block.

The "hammerlike thing" is a gavel. What the judge bangs it on is simply a block of wood used to preserve the desk.

The 'hammer like thing' is called a gavel and the 'bump' is called a sound block!!

I believe the "hammer" is called a gavel and the thing which its banged on is called a base.

A desk? Sorry, just saw the rest of your question. I know the hammer-like thing is a gavel...1/2 points?
