What is Judgment?

Judgment also spelled Judgement

Judgment is a decision of a court regarding the rights and liabilities of parties in a legal action or proceeding.

A judgment generally operates to settle finally and authoritatively matters in dispute before a court.

Judgments may be classified as in personam, in rem, or quasi in rem.

An in personam, or personal, judgment, the type most commonly rendered by courts, imposes a personal liability or obligation upon a person or group to some other person or group.

An in rem judgment imposes no personal liability on anyone but adjudicates the interests of all persons in a specific thing or property in the custody of the court or otherwise subject to its jurisdiction.
