Excellent verse - how about the rest of the context:

Matthew 7:1-6 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

According to this passage, we are not to judge hypocritically - but it certainly is not teaching to never judge. In fact, verse six involves a clear judgment. Later in the chapter, we are to judge fruit, judge between false teachers and real teachers, between the right way and the wrong way (ie. the broad way), between the right foundation and the wrong one.
