Judgement is sometimes confused with sentence, as both judgement and sentence refer to the decision of the court at the end of a trial, but they are used differently, furthermore, both terms have procedural and substantive meanings.
Judgment is the official decision of a court finally resolving the dispute between the parties to the civil action. In contrast, sentence is used in criminal law, as it is the punishment for the crime as decided by the court.
There is another difference between these terms in criminal law, where the judgment is the legal decision of a judge in the matter of alleged crime, while sentence follows the judgement and sets forth the punishment for the crime.
