judicial-authority justification

Read a random definition: illusory-transfer doctrine

A quick definition of judicial-authority justification:

A justification is a reason or explanation for why someone did something that would otherwise be considered wrong or illegal. It can be used as a defense in court to show that the person had a good reason for their actions. For example, if someone acted in self-defense to protect themselves from harm, that could be a justification for their actions. There are different types of justifications, such as defensive-force justification, imperfect justification, judicial-authority justification, and public-authority justification.

A more thorough explanation:

Judicial-authority justification is a type of defense used in court when an individual has engaged in behavior that would normally be considered an offense, but did so in order to comply with a court order. This defense is based on the idea that the individual was following the orders of a judge or other legal authority, and therefore should not be held responsible for their actions.

For example, if a court orders a parent to take their child to a specific medical appointment, but the parent is pulled over for speeding on the way to the appointment, they may be able to use judicial-authority justification as a defense. They can argue that they were following a court order and therefore should not be punished for their actions.

Another example of judicial-authority justification could be a police officer who is ordered by a judge to conduct a search of a suspect's property. If the officer finds illegal drugs during the search, they may be able to use this defense to avoid being charged with possession of illegal drugs. They can argue that they were following a court order and therefore should not be held responsible for the drugs they found.

In both of these examples, the individuals were following a court order and therefore had a lawful reason for their actions. This is the basis for the judicial-authority justification defense.
