Judges Panel vs Judges' Panel
Hi, I'm really struggling with this. How would I describe a "panel of judges", for a contest. Is Judges possessive in this case? I believe so, but I'm honestly not positive.
Whenever I run into these situations, I try to equate it to another word. So a comparison here would be a panel of people, or a "people's panel", I think. Or is it "people panel"?
Thank you.

"Panel of judges" is not a genitive (possessive) construction, since of is not a genitive case marker. The genitive equivalent would be "judges' panel". The same applies with your "people" example.
