Legal Definitions - et sic ad judicium

et sic ad judicium

Et sic ad judicium is an old Latin phrase that means "and so to judgment."

• After hearing all the evidence, the judge said, "Et sic ad judicium," and the jury delivered their verdict.
• When the lawyer finished his closing argument, he ended with the phrase "et sic ad judicium" to emphasize the seriousness of the case.

The examples illustrate how the phrase is used to indicate that a decision or judgment is about to be made. In both cases, the phrase is used at the end of a trial or argument to signal that it is time for the judge or jury to make a decision.
