Definition :

Judicalese, language used by courtx (judge) in their judgments, 'Profound scholarship from the summit seat puzzles the wit of the laity and the 'attorney' if judicalese, with the twists and turns of ratiocination makes judge picking jurisprudence read like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma' [Higher Judicial Appointments - Arcane Process and Razzmatazz Protocol in Legally Speaking, p. 180 (182)] (Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer)
