juridical
Of the judiciary
Juridical means relating to the law, courts, or the administration of justice.
The word appears in formal or academic contexts: juridical procedures, juridical authority, the juridical system.
It overlaps with legal and judicial but sounds more technical, often appearing in philosophy or political theory when discussing the formal structures of law and rights.
