No common word rhymes exactly with prejudice /ˈprɛdʒədɪs/. Justice, practice, notice, and service share only the final unstressed /ɪs/ sound of prejudice, but their stress falls on a different syllable. Precious (/ˈprɛʃəs/) and previous (/ˈpriːviəs/) are spelling lookalikes through the prefix 'pre', but they are not rhymes; previous especially has a different vowel sound.
