Both have law degrees. Lawyers act as legal represenitives of their clients. They argue the case of their client in front of a judge. In some casese, a judge decides, in others they just preside over court. A judge is almost always an elected person who has a law degree and was once a lawyer. The judge has the power and control of the courtroom.

A lawyer is an advocate that represents you and your cause. The judge presides over the case and hears the evidence. The judge decides the case if there is no jury involved.
