  1. Of or relating to the administration of justice.
  2. Of or relating to the court system or the judicial branch of government.
  3. (Ireland, historical) specified by a civil bill court under the terms of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881

Usage notes

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.
