Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'judicial' (relating to courts) simply narrows 'proceeding' (actions taken in court) to court-related legal processes. This modifier+noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning despite its formal register.
Etymology
Judicial proceeding comes from a simple picture: judicial means connected to a judge and proceeding means the steps taken in court. So, judicial proceeding means the 'court process' where a judge hears evidence and decides who is right.
