Legal Definitions - corona

CORONA

Corona means "the Crown" in Latin. In the past, it was used in criminal pleadings such as "pleas of the Crown."

Example 1: The coronation of the new king was a grand ceremony.

Example 2: The prosecutor argued that the defendant's actions were a threat to the safety of the Crown.

The first example shows how "corona" can be used to refer to a physical crown worn by a monarch during a coronation ceremony. The second example illustrates how "pleas of the Crown" were used in criminal cases to represent the interests of the monarch or the state.
