Judge to be deliberate (8)
I believe the answer is:
consider
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'judge' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'be deliberate' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for consider that I've seen before include "Deem to be, regard" , "Deem to be, believe" , "view" , "Take into account" , "Contemplate" .)
