judgment, judge meant

Judgment or judgment  ( one word ) means the decision or verdict in a court case--
"It is the judgment of this court..."
No judgement is possible unless the witness will cooperate.

Judgment also means the ability to form an opinion or make a decision wisely--
He is a man of sound judgment; he won't do anything rash.
You showed good judgment; the customer gave a good recommendation.

Judge meant or judge meant ( two words, rhymes with judgment ) means what the court official ( judge ) intended ( meant )--
I wonder what the judge meant by that remark?
Do you think the judge meant to be so rude?

Now that you know that, you can say--
"I'm sure the judge meant this judgment to be fair to both parties."
