ADJUDGE Meaning and Definition

  1. Adjudge is a transitive verb used to indicate the act of reaching a decision or rendering a judgment or verdict in a legal, official, or authoritative manner. When someone adjudge something, they are making a final determination about a particular matter.

    In the legal context, this term refers to the process through which a judge or a jury examines the evidence presented in a case and issues a formal decision, typically based on the applicable laws and regulations. To adjudge a person guilty or innocent in a court of law implies that the judge or jury has evaluated the evidence and reached a judgment regarding their culpability. The decision may entail determining a punishment or a reward, depending on the circumstances.

    However, adjudge is not solely limited to legal contexts. It can also be used more broadly to denote an authority or an expert's assessment or determination of someone or something. For instance, a panel of experts may adjudge a book as the best in its genre, or a renowned music critic may adjudge a performance as outstanding. In these cases, adjudge conveys the idea of making an informed and authoritative judgment or decision after careful evaluation or analysis.

    Overall, adjudge involves the act of making a final decision, particularly in a legal or authoritative sense, but it can extend to all fields where an authoritative evaluation is made to render a verdict or judgment.

  2. To determine; to decide; to award sentence.
