A good judge seeks to find the facts that are needed to determine the legality of an action or position, and then to rule in line with the law.
The adversarial proceeding in court are designed to bring those facts out as clearly as possible. However to obscure, confuse, or cast doubt upon the facts is also neccessary sometimes to have the outcome your "side" desires.
It is always a contest between pure law and personal desires. The judge is there is be as impartial as possible and to see to it that the Law is applied.

Will the facts reveal the truth and do the judges play an important role in discovering the truth?
The ideal judge would have justice as his ideal, he would administer justice fairly and equitably. The rules of evidence seem substandard when put in the light of "getting at the truth". What is truth? Truth is what is provable by the facts or derivable from the accept set of facts. This set of truth does not imply justice has been served.
