Legal Definitions - ordo judiciorum

Ordo Judiciorum is a Latin term used in Ecclesiastical law. It refers to the order of judgments or the rule that prescribes the course of hearing each case.

For example, in a court of law, there is a specific order in which cases are heard. The judge follows a set of rules that dictate how each case is presented and heard. This is known as the ordo judiciorum.

Another example is in the Catholic Church, where there is a specific order in which cases are heard by the ecclesiastical courts. The ordo judiciorum ensures that each case is heard fairly and impartially.
