Judgement or judgment?

[Charlotte A]

I just took a spelling test and was incorrect on the spelling of judgment. I worked in a legal office for many years. The word was spelled with an e -- judgement. Is this one of "those" words where convention is the rule?

Are you British?

It is given as having alternative spellings in most dictionaries. More generally it is a question of BrE or AmE spelling. Don't let it worry you!
