A quick definition of coram non judice:

Coram non judice is a Latin term that means "not before a judge." It refers to a situation where a case is being heard outside the presence of a judge or in a court that does not have the authority to handle the matter.

A more thorough explanation:

Coram non judice is a Latin term that means "not before a judge." It can refer to two situations:

  1. When a legal proceeding takes place outside the presence of a judge.
  2. When a case is brought before a judge or court that does not have the authority to hear it.

Here are some examples of how coram non judice can be used:

  • During a trial, if a lawyer speaks to a witness without the judge present, it is considered coram non judice.
  • If a case involving a federal law is brought before a state court, the court cannot hear the case because it is coram non judice.

These examples illustrate how coram non judice can refer to situations where a legal proceeding is not being conducted properly. In the first example, the lawyer's actions are not in accordance with the rules of the court, which require all communication to take place in the presence of the judge. In the second example, the court does not have the authority to hear the case because it involves federal law, which is outside of its jurisdiction.
