Slayer (Ex): At 17th level, an inquisitor learns to act
quickly in combat. Whenever an inquisitor uses her
judgment ability, she can select one of her judgments—
If that judgment is changed
during combat, it resets as normal.
Can someone please explain to me, what the 'marked' part means?
Do the judgements increase durin combat? I couldn't find such description in the text.

It now reads:
Slayer (Ex)
Errata
At 17th level, an inquisitor learns to focus her judgment. Whenever an inquisitor uses her judgment ability, she must select one type of judgment. She is treated as if she were 5 levels higher for the purposes of determining the bonus granted by this judgment. Unlike other types of judgment, the one enhanced by this ability cannot be changed for the remainder of the judgment.
It is a hang over from beta that didn't get cleaned up. Judgements used to start at low power and then gain power over two rounds. They also used to reset if you swapped them out during combat. The mechanic well novel, was cumbersome and didn't make it out of the play test. It had a lingering effect on the manuscript, and you will see in the FAQ the other spells that change.

So does this just mean in effect you get a +1 to your Judgment since the bonus increases every 3 levels? Seems an odd way to express this ability, especially getting it so late? Also I assume it allows you to compute your Judgment for levels over 20?

Depending on the level, you might get +2 because of the way the math works out. And yes, the progression continues if your effective level is over 20.
