Plural form of adjudicatum; legal matters or cases that have been formally decided by a court.
Latin plural of 'adjudicatum,' the past participle of 'adjudicare.' This is a technical legal term borrowed directly from Latin, used primarily in formal legal discourse to refer to settled cases.
This is super specialized legal Latin—lawyers use 'adjudicata' when discussing cases that are finalized and settled, as opposed to cases still in dispute. It's the kind of word that makes legal documents sound formal and precise.
