It's both. Judgment is common in North American and British English. Judgement is fine, but not for legal proceedings. https://grammarist.com/spelling/judgment-judgement/

    interesting. a quote from the oxford style guide mentioned (for BrE, of course):

    • judgement (moral, academic etc)
    • judgment (legal decision only)

    the guide’s own wording also says “… moral judgement”. so according to oxford legal decisions can be called “judgments” but everything else should be called “judgements”?
