judgments
Conclusions after deliberation
Judgments are conclusions reached after consideration or evaluation: The court issued its judgment, I trust her judgment on these matters.
A judgment can be a formal legal ruling, a personal opinion, or the faculty of discerning wisely.
To pass judgment is to criticize or condemn.
Against my better judgment means despite knowing it's unwise.
Also spelled judgement, especially in British English.
