Jurors = people who have played and completed 151+ matches. They can participate in the Trial System to vote on reports if their account isn't currently suspended or banned. Judges = People who can close reports / have the final word whether a person should be punished or not. If enough jurors vote "guilty" on a report, the report gets sent up to the judges. A judge can vote on the report, thus closing it. If a report is closed guilty, the person's punishment will begin right away. In the event that the person found guilty is playing online, they won't start their suspension until they finally log out. (This will change in the future to being instant.)  Reports can be open for 30 days. So you can get a report on you today and not be punished until 25 days later. It all boils down to how many jurors are participating (that can be you helping out), how many reports there are to read through, and how much time the judges have to do reports as they're all volunteers aka they're people not being paid and are simply people taking time out of their day to make the game a better place.
