The judgement ability states that you don't benefit from from the judgement if you're removed from the combat, and unconscious is specifically called out as a condition that temporarily suspends the judgement's benefits. This seems clear enough...no fast healing while unconscious.
But wait, the Healing Judgement text says "This causes the inquisitor to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the inquisitor is alive and the judgement lasts." (emphasis mine)
So I guess I'm seeking advice on the letter of the RAW and wondering if the specific "as long as...the judgement lasts" is sufficient to override the general judgement rules, which state that the judgement isn't ended by unconsciousness etc. To me, the fact that the judgement isnt ended, but merely suspended, means the judgement still "lasts". Am I splitting hairs too finely here?

Yes. All judgement powers work as long as they last, within the framework of the general judgement rules. If there is no explicit statement saying the judgement is an exeption to the normal overall rules for them, it is not.

How does getting knocked unconscious remove you from combat? Will your opponent stop trying to kill you?

Eh, "removed from combat" was poor phrasing on my part, "not particpating" would have been better. Regardless, the APG explicitly calls out being unconscious as cause to suspend the benefits of judgements.
@Gilfalas: Yeah, I suppose so. I was kind of hoping someone would offer up a better argument than I had for the interpretation that I put forth in the OP.
