juicio, noun
judgement, good sense; opinion; trial

Juicio means judgement in the sense of having common sense:

La gente del campo siempre tiene buen juicio.
People from the country always have common sense.

It’s probably more often used in the phrase a mi juicio, a nuestro juicio, in my opinion, in our opinion. This is a slightly formal way of introducing what you think.

A nuestro juicio no es su mejor película.
In our opinion it’s not her best film.

A juicio del partido, había traicionado a sus compañeros.
In the Party’s view, he’d betrayed his comrades.

And it means a legal trial:

el más celebre juicio de la época
the most famous trial of the era

Llevar a alguien a juicio means to take somebody to court.
