Never used by Okrand AFAIK, though "Judgment" was the title of an
ENTERPRISE episode last season where Captain Archer was tried by the
Klingons for "crimes against the Klingon Empire". He was, of course,
convicted and sent to Rura Penthe.
Some related vocabulary:
verbs: {noH} "judge, estimate" and {'oD} "arbitrate, mediate"
nouns: {bo'DIj} "court [of law]", {meqba'} [a type of Klingon legal
proceeding], {ghIpDIj} "court martial", {ruv} justice, {teblaw'}
"jurisdiction" and {'oDwI'} "arbitrator, arbiter"
