- 2013 August 10, “Can China clean up fast enough?”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8848:
- It has jailed environmental activists and is planning to limit the power of judicial oversight by handing a state-approved body a monopoly over bringing environmental lawsuits.
- (Ireland, historical) specified by a civil bill court under the terms of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881
- Of or relating to judgeship or the judiciary, the collective body of judges.
- Of or relating to sound judgment; judicious (but see Usage notes).
Usage notes
[edit]Many editors maintain a differentiation between judicial and judicious and believe that writers should not confuse judicial (having to do with justice and judiciary systems) with judicious (showing good judgment), so for example judicious use of X (i.e. wisely chosen) is not interchangeable with judicial use of X (i.e. by the courts). Meanwhile, the word juridical is not well differentiated in meaning from judicial, the two having substantial semantic overlap.
