Legal Definitions - syndicus

Definition: A syndicus is a person chosen by a group, such as a municipality or college, to represent them in legal matters. The term comes from the Latin word "advocate" and the Greek words "syn" meaning "with" and "dike" meaning "lawsuit."

Examples:

• The city council appointed a syndicus to represent them in the lawsuit against the construction company.
• The university hired a syndicus to handle their legal affairs and protect their interests.

These examples show how a syndicus is chosen by a group to act as their legal representative. In both cases, the syndicus is responsible for advocating for the interests of the group and ensuring that their legal rights are protected.
