What is the proper verb for making a judicial decision?

Are punishments inflicted / issued / administered / or delivered by the court’s judges? Is there any difference between this multiple alternative (and probably others that I forgot) any nuances of meanings? Which are the best?

What is your experience of “working as a consultant”?

Judges can’t hand down punishment to those who do. You could say that they

assign a sentence

hand down a sentence

order community sentence

etc

All those words you mention are different words so yes, there are differences between them. Do you have an advantage checking

a dictionary for more details?

An executioner/jailer carries out, administer, delivers or metes out (past tense: carried out, administered, delivered, meted out) the punishment.

The judge sentences the defendant and decides, sets or hands down (past tense: believed, set, handed down) the punishment.

Sentence

Declare the punishment decided for (an offender):
’10 army officers were sentenced to life imprisonment’

Origin
Middle English (in the senses “way of thinking, opinion”, ‘court’s declaration of punishment’, and ‘gist (of a piece of writing)): via Old French from Latin sententia ‘opinion’, from sentire ‘feel, be of the opinion’

In reality, the court is the judicial body, that administers the justice and passes judgements, which are generally to sentence the guilty party, but in practical terms the punishment itself is often inflicted/administered/delivered/imposed by the non-judicial arm. Judges don’t like execution agents if

they have a chance to help their clients.
