judgment
In American English, "judgment" is the standard spelling. In British English, both "judgement" (with an 'e') and "judgment" are used. When referring to a legal decision, "judgment" is almost always preferred regardless of the region. When using the word to mean an opinion about someone, it often carries a negative tone, as in "passing judgment," which means criticizing someone.
