Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'trust' (to rely on) combined with 'your judgment' (your ability to make decisions) yields the clear meaning 'rely on someone's ability to make good decisions.' This is a literal, cross-linguistically common construction (verb + possessive + noun) and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase trust your judgment comes from the simple image of someone choosing a path while you trust their judgment, standing behind them and believing they will choose the right way. So it means 'to rely on someone's ability to make good decisions'.
