Latin legal term meaning 'of the same'; used to refer back to something already mentioned in a document.
Latin: e- (of) + iusdem (the same). A declension of the same idea; remains untranslated in legal English because it serves a specific function.
The phrase 'ejusdem generis' (of the same kind) is a fundamental rule in legal interpretation—courts use it to decide what general categories mean when specific examples are given.
