March 30th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "ad litem"
"ad litem"
"To/for the suit/action" - a bit of legal Latin indicating that something is taken as valid only for the lis (the case or lawsuit) in question, e.g. a "guardian ad litem" is appointed by the court to represent a particular minor only with regard to the matter before the court, not as a general guardian (e.g. a foster or adoptive parent, a permanent guardian),
a.d. III Kalendas Apriles anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXXVI
