What is the term for the Jewish legal process of making decisions on Halacha?

The term "P'sak Halacha" refers specifically to the authoritative decision or ruling regarding Jewish law (Halacha). This process involves the careful analysis and interpretation of religious texts, previous rulings, and applicable legal principles by a qualified authority, such as a rabbi or a posek (a halachic decisor). The issuance of a P'sak Halacha serves to clarify and apply the nuances of Jewish law to contemporary situations, guiding observant Jews in their daily lives and practices.

In contrast, Halachic Judgement is a general term that might refer to the process but does not capture the specific terminology or the formal aspect of the conclusion. Brachot pertains to the blessings said over certain actions or events and does not encompass the legal decision-making process. Kashrut Enforcement focuses specifically on dietary laws and practices within Judaism, which is only a subset of halachic issues rather than the overarching process of decision-making. Thus, P'sak Halacha accurately represents the specific legal process being asked about.
