ADJUDICATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Adjudicate is a verb that refers to the act of making a formal judgment or decision in a legal or official context. It is derived from the Latin word "adjudicare," which means to award or to judge.

    When individuals or parties are unable to resolve a dispute through mediation or negotiation, they may choose to have their case adjudicated by a neutral third party, such as a judge or an arbitrator. In this process, the adjudicator reviews the evidence, listens to arguments from both sides, and evaluates the merits of each position before issuing a final decision or judgment. Adjudication often occurs within a legal system, but it can also be applied to non-legal contexts, such as formal competitions or disputes within organizations.

    The act of adjudicating requires a comprehensive assessment of the facts presented, interpretation of laws or regulations relevant to the case, and the application of legal principles to determine the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. Adjudicators must possess a solid understanding of the legal system and have the ability to remain impartial and objective throughout the process.

    Adjudication plays a crucial role in ensuring fairness, as it provides a structured and authoritative resolution to conflicts. By offering a formal decision, adjudication helps to promote order and justice within society, establishing a precedent that can guide future similar cases.

  2. To pronounce judgment upon; to try or determine as a court.
