Definition of whereupon
Definition: Whereupon is a conjunction that means "soon after and as a result of which; and then." It can also mean "whereon."
Example 1: The lawyer presented his evidence, whereupon the judge made her ruling.
Example 2: The students finished their exams, whereupon they celebrated by going out to eat.
The examples illustrate how "whereupon" is used to show a cause-and-effect relationship between two events. In the first example, the judge's ruling was a result of the lawyer's evidence. In the second example, the celebration was a result of finishing the exams.
A judge is a law student who marks his own examination papers.
