The period of the Judges doesn't have any special meaning. The book of judges is an historical account of the nation of Israel after the death of Joshua and before the reign of Saul, the first king.
"The period of Judges" refers to the era whose major events (for the Israelites) are narrated in the Book of Judges. Traditional chronology puts this era in 1244 to 878 BCE, while non-traditional opinions place it at an earlier time.
The Book of Judges records those events in which some of the ancient Israelites began to sin (Judges 2:11), and were then persecuted by surrounding nations, as God had warned them (Deuteronomy ch.32). When the Israelites repented (Judges 2:1-4, 3:9, 3:15, 6:6, 10:10), God saved them from their enemies.
