A quick definition of in simili materia:

Term: IN SIMILI MATERIA

Definition: In simili materia means that something is related to the same or similar subject matter.

For example, if two legal cases involve similar issues, they can be said to be in simili materia. This term is often used in legal contexts to describe cases or laws that are related to each other.

A more thorough explanation:

IN SIMILI MATERIA

in simili materia (in sim-ə-lI mə-teer-ee-ə), adv. & adj.
[Law Latin] Of the same or a similar subject matter.

In simili materia is a Latin term used in law to describe a situation where two legal cases or issues are similar or related to each other. It means that the subject matter of the cases is the same or similar.

For example, if a court is deciding a case about a car accident, and another case comes up that is also about a car accident, the court might say that the two cases are in simili materia. This means that the subject matter of both cases is the same or similar, and the court can use the decision from the first case to help decide the second case.

Another example could be if a lawyer is arguing a case about a breach of contract, and they want to use a previous case as a precedent. If the previous case is about a similar type of contract, the lawyer might argue that the two cases are in simili materia, and the court should follow the decision from the previous case.

These examples illustrate how the term in simili materia is used in law to describe cases or issues that are related to each other because they have the same or similar subject matter.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
