解答

意味：
英辞郎によると、

慌てて判断する、判断［判決］を急ぐ、性急な判断を下す

上記の訳で概ね問題はありませんが、ニュアンスとして「情報が十分ではない状態で」「証拠不足で」等が欠けています。
また、動詞系だけではなくこの見出しや"a rush to judgment"のように名詞系もあります。

   

Answer

According to The Free Dictionary:

1. noun A conclusion reached hastily and informed by incomplete information.
2. verb To reach a conclusion in such a manner.

   

Examples

• This was no rush to judgment—we reviewed the case carefully and thoroughly.
• Increased media scrutiny led to a rush to judgment by the CEOs, who summarily fired the employee before she could present her side of the situation.
• As a detective, I try never to rush to judgment, even when the evidence seems overwhelming.
• I can assure you we did not rush to judgment here—we reviewed the case carefully and thoroughly.
