Word of the Week: Judgment
Judgment (Noun)
Definition: A judgment is a decision issued by a judge. MISTAKE ALERT!: An important point to note is the spelling of judgment. In British English when we talk about a decision issued by a judge we spell it:
J U D G M E N T. When we talk about a point of view we use ‘judgement’ with an ‘e’.
Example: The judgment can be found in the Official Law Reports.
This word features in Episode 31 of the Study Legal English Podcast.
