Judicial for Dummies

When we say something is "judicial", we mean that it relates to the branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It's like this branch of government is the referee or the "judge" who makes sure that everyone plays by the rules. They make decisions in legal cases, just like the judge in your game. These decisions are based on the laws and rules that have been established in our society.

For example, if someone breaks a law and gets caught, their case might be taken to a judicial court. In this court, the judge (the person with the judicial role) will listen to both sides, study the evidence, and then make a decision on what should happen next, such as whether the person is guilty or innocent and what the consequences should be.

Now, let me tell you something really interesting about the word "judicial" - it can also be used to describe something that is related to a judge or a court. When we talk about "judicial proceedings" or "the judicial system", we're referring to all the things that happen in the courts, like trials and hearings. It's almost like the court system has its own little world, and "judicial" is the special word we use to talk about everything inside that world.

In summary, my dear student, "judicial" means something that is connected to the legal system and the courts, just like a judge or a decision made by a judge. It's a word we use when we want to talk about the branch of government responsible for interpreting and applying the law. Remember, just like a game judge, the judicial branch ensures that everyone follows the rules and treats people fairly. So, the next time you hear or see the word "judicial", think of that game you played with your friends and how the judge made sure everything was fair and just!
