Gavel
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
A gavel is a hammer like tool used by judges and arbiters to demonstrate their power and authority in a formal trial or hearing.
Gavels were used by Humans, Klingons, and Bajorans.
In 2369 the Bajoran arbiter Els Renora used a ball-gavel during the hearing of extradition for Lieutenant Jadzia Dax on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Dax")
