3 JURISDICTION, JURISPRUDENCE, JUDICIAL, JUDICIOUS

 3 JURISDICTION, JURISPRUDENCE, JUDICIAL, JUDICIOUS 

Are we into some capitol - pondering over the above terms? Well, CAPITOL is a place or building where the State legislative body functions or  has ‘a cluster of buildings’. Can we confuse a bit saying that Capitol is the Capital for decision making? Courts are places for settling disputes and are the ones whose jurisdiction over matters of legal consideration stands indisputably  enshrined.

Speaking of courts [judiciary] we need to draw the line between ther terms ‘JUDICIAL’ and ‘JUDICIOUS’.  Judicial refers to matters relating to litigation or legal consideration. ‘JUDICIOUS’ is a reference to the act of ‘thoughtful exercise’ ;in plain terms it is using proper discretion in proceeding with an exercise. Inept decision in this regard is termed ‘INJUDICIOUS’.So, something not very judicious can turn out to be injudicious causing misery or defeat or loss.

A careful consideration of these terms reveals that Judicial battles are fought judiciously citing provisions of Law, relevant sections of penal code, applicability of the said section and so on. However  , irrespective of profession every one has to be judicious while to be a‘judicial authority’ one has to be a qualified practioner  of law of the land. Having said that , we face ‘issues of jurisdiction’ as to who can enjoy ‘judicial status’ and even without it one has to be judicious.

JURISDICTION, JURISPRUDENCE

These terms can be somewhat tricky unless one bestows keen attention on to their purpose [meaning]. Both words carry a second ‘epithet-like components’ in ‘diction’ and ‘prudence’ . Abundant caution is suggested ‘not to derive’ meaning from our familiarity to ‘diction’ and prudence.  They do not refer to the lingual prowess –‘the diction’ of any Jury nor to ‘the prudence of a jury’ or its members threin.

Jurisprudence= the knowledge of law or Skill of law  and is thus the science of law and its application ;

Jurisdiction =the legal power or authority and the area in which the power can be applied.

Likewise some persons fail to recognize the difference in the applicability of terms “ judicial’ and judicious; such persons liberally trespass jurisdiction rather injudiciously being themselves bereft of the draconian prospects being drawn into a judicial battle.

Hope I have hopefully confused readers hopelessly hoping against hope of doing justice .Sorry if I have .
