Since we're on the subject of law and judgment...
Which wuxia character would you say was the best judge of character: he/she really understood what made other people tick, and pretty much never misjudged anybody?

I'd say HR, cause she was suspicious of YG all those times when GJ was blindly thinking that YG wouldn't dare hurt him.
But she was just suspicious of him period, mostly because he was Yang Kang's son. She was suspicious and wary of him even as a kid. Even when he gave up on killing GJ, she was still suspicious of him, so she didn't really judge his character at all. She judged him based on lineage.
Ive never read Duke of Mount Deer, but it seems like WXB judges people pretty well. He had to in order to fool and manipulate everyone around him with little to no education and martial arts. If we count GL, it seems like every other main character is perfect at judging everyone else.
For the most part, RWX was actually a shrewd and excellent judge of character. Even before his imprisonment, he knew and immediately saw YBQ through as a 'wei junzi', but his judgement of Madam Ning was spot on, as was his judgements of the elites of his time, such as DFBB, Chong Xu, Fang Zhen, and Zuo Lengchan.
In fact, the only one he misjudged was Linghu Chong; if he wasn't so hamhanded and overbearing/threatening, he would've managed to get LHC into the Sun Moon Sect, instead of alienating him. But that's part of his old-man temper, I suppose.

SWEEPER MONK, who has been estimated to be able to accurately pinpoint the size of Jiumozhi's right nut by just looking at him.
[edit] correction: it was his LEFT nut.

Ah yes, how could I forget that Jin Yong has already told us about 2 OMNIPOTENT and OMNISCIENT judges in the martial world. They are the Ultimate "Punish Evil, Reward Kindness" messengers -- Lord Long and Lord Mu of Gallant Island, who made sure the justice was served. They actually kept a separate record of each person's crime. So when someone requests the information, they toss you the paper and unless your martial arts are really good, you won't be able to catch it!

GuGu: which version are you watching? XAJH 01 with LYP and Xu Qing?
On topic, I'd say RWX is pretty good at it, and I'd have to agree that HR is too. Maybe we should list some that are NOT good at it? I'd say Mu nian ci, she let YK trick her SO many times.

EDIT: GJ's mom Li Ping was pretty good at it too....she said she had a feeling that Genghis Khan was going to make GJ attack China.

Ren Woxing already sensed something iffy with Dongfang Bubai 10 years ago. Ren Woxing heard that Sunflower Manuscript was nothing but trouble, so he gave it to Dongfang Bubai in order to damage him, but Dongfang still usurped the power faster than Ren imagined.

How about Cheung 3 Fung? All of Cheung Mo Gei's martial uncles from Mo Dong Sect had him pegged as the murderer of their seventh brother, Mok Sing Guk. Cheung 3 Fung, however, refused to believe that Cheung Mo Gei was capable of the cold-blooded murder of his seventh martial uncle, and Cheung 3 Fung called it correctly.
Wei Xiao Bao. He knew what kind of people he was dealing with and dealt with them accordingly. He could handle everyone from Tibetan Lamas to the Qing Emperor and Emperess dowager to Rebel groups and even Wu San Gui, you can even throw in a Russian princess
