judicial ruling
Judge's official determination
A judicial ruling is a formal decision issued by a court or judge on a legal matter.
Rulings may resolve entire cases or address specific questions that arise during proceedings—whether evidence is admissible, whether a motion should be granted, how a law should be interpreted.
The judge's ruling went against the defendant.
