3 Nephi 6:27

Now it came to pass that those Judges had many friends and kindreds; and the remainder, yea, even almost all the lawyers and the High Priests, did gather themselves together, and unite with the kindreds of those Judges which were to be tried according to the law;

Those judges had many friends and family members. Most of the lawyers and high priests gathered together. They joined with the families of those judges who were going to be judged by the law.

These judges had many friends and relatives. Nearly all the lawyers and high priests banded together with the families of the accused judges.
