A legal judgment (spelled judgment, not judgement) is a money (monetary) financial award decreed (ordered) by a judge as part of the verdict in a lawsuit or other civil court case.  The final judgment does not provide for collection of the money owed but authorizes the "winner" or his/her agent to use legal means to enforce and collect the award from the debtor.

A judgment or judgement, in a legal context, is synonymous with the formal decision made by a court following a lawsuit. At the same time the court may also make a range of court orders, such as imposing a sentence upon a guilty defendant in a criminal matter, or providing a remedy for the plaintiff in a civil law matter.
