According to my 1988 edition of Webster's New World Dictionary (whose cover proudly states "#1 New York Times Bestseller," "Over 25,000,000 Copies In Print" and "The Best Dictionary Available"), judgment and judgement are both correct, it just depends on how you learnt it. Most teachers in America favor the former spelling because it's more popular, but they also consider Ebonics a valid form of English as well. The latter version is closer to the original old English root word judge, so that's why I favor it. The judgment version comes to English via Norman french, where it is used in legal proceedings with the specific meaning of a judicial decision. As I'm sure you are aware with your legal training, many Norman French terms are used in the common law system and while they may resemble English words, they have a specific legal definition.

So, judgment = judicial decision and judgement = an opinion or conclusion. At least that's how I learnt it, see Fowler's The King's English for more details. Also if you read the King James Bible, it uses the judgment version when referring to God. So in my judgement, you shouldn't be making judgments because that's what God does and the Satanic court system pretending to be God does, but you should be making judgements because if you don't make judgements you can't believe in anything, including God.

Government schools don't want students making their own judgements, opinions or conclusions, so government school teachers censor that version of the word. Government schools want to get students in the court system where they will have judgments against them in order to seize their life, freedom and/or property, so that's why they promote that spelling. It's a subtle but effective brainwashing technique.

I don't speak Government Newspeak or Ebonics (except to mock someone as a form of satire). I came into the world speaking the King's English and I will go out of this world speaking the King's, gnomesayin?
