Usage notes

edit

Many editors maintain a differentiation between judicial and judicious and believe that writers should not confuse judicial (having to do with justice and judiciary systems) with judicious (showing good judgment), so for example judicious use of X (i.e. wisely chosen) is not interchangeable with judicial use of X (i.e. by the courts). Meanwhile, the word juridical is not well differentiated in meaning from judicial, the two having substantial semantic overlap.

      A questão jurídica em debate foi com precisão resumida pelo Ministro Castro Filho: "É possível o juiz decretar a separação judicial do casal por culpa recíproca ou insuportabilidade da vida em comum, quando o pedido de separação é fundado na culpa exclusiva de um dos cônjuges, ausente a reconvenção".
