Judgment Armor (previously Judgement Armor^[1]^[2]) is the tier 2 paladin armor set.

Concept

"The Judgement concept is meant to be an Inquisitor-like outfit. The Silver Hand is an overall noble establishment, to be sure -- but there is a time when pleasantries must end and justice must be done. It is called the Judgement armor for a reason -- it is the Paladin's embodiment of delivering their sentence upon the enemy. This is not the defender aspect of the Paladin you're seeing; it is the commanding, faceless aspect of justice, of judgement. There is more to a Paladin than shining armor."

—Blizzard Community Manager Caydiem^[3]

Source

Tier 2 drops mainly in Blackwing Lair. The legplates drop from Ragnaros in the Molten Core.

Notes

Judgment is considered by many to be one of the best-looking armor sets in the game, and one of the most recognizable thanks to its unique look and style; it stands out not only to paladins, but to other classes as well.
The Judgment armor is a suit of plate armor fitted with precious icons and scripture of justice from the paladins' tenets of Holy Light.^[4]
Blood Knights were often depicted as wearing the Judgment Armor set in early Burning Crusade art, before Blizzard settled on giving them their black and red uniforms.
