I believe the answer is:
trujillo
'peruvian city' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'judge badly interrupting our time back' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'J' (abbreviation for judge).
'badly' becomes 'i'll' ('ill' can be adverbial as in 'ill-advised').
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'our'+'t'='ourt'
'ourt' in reverse letter order is 'truo'.
'j'+'ill'='jill'
'jill' going within 'truo' is 'TRUJILLO'.
'in' is the link.
