juridical

adj

Etymology: From juridic + -al or alternatively borrowed from Latin iuridicalis.

1. Pertaining to the law or rule of law, legal; judicial, related to the administration of justice (as to jurisprudence, or to the function of a judge or court).

   “...in any case one schematizes power in a juridical form, and one defines its effects as obedience.”

   “The influence of customary law on juridical practices is itself an index of the degree of popular ‘participation’ in the drafting of laws.”
