More About Judicial

What does judicial mean?

Judicial describes something related to courts of law or judges. For example, a judicial review refers to a court reviewing the action of an administrative, legislative, or executive branch of government.

Broadly, judicial can refer to any part of the legal process, but it often relates directly to a judge and their practices. Judges make judicial decisions, and any court process that involves the judge making a decision is referred to as judicial.

Judicial can also be used to describe something or someone as critical or discriminating or inclined to making judgments. If you look carefully at both sides of an argument before making a serious decision, you could be described as being judicial in your decision-making.

Example: The judicial branch of government evaluates and upholds the law.

Where does judicial come from?

The first records of the term judicial come from the 1300s. It comes from the Latin 箩奴诲颈肠颈腻濒颈蝉, meaning 鈥渙f the court of law鈥 or 鈥渏udgment.鈥

In the United States, the Supreme Court is made up of a panel of appointed judges who decide cases by judicial review and judicial voting. People often refer to the decisions of the Supreme Court as judicial, not because they are voted on by judges but because they are mostly final. The final, definitive ruling on something is often referred to as judicial, even if it has nothing to do with a judge, and the Supreme Court is often seen as the most definitive decision-maker.
