A quick definition of litem:

A litem is a legal term that means "for the suit" or "pending the suit." It is often used in reference to a guardian ad litem, who is appointed to represent the interests of a minor or incapacitated person in a legal case. Another legal term, ad lucrandum vel perdendum, means "for gain or loss" and is often used in a warrant of attorney.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Litem means "for the suit" in Latin. It is used in legal contexts to refer to something that is pending or related to a lawsuit. For example, a guardian ad litem is a person appointed by the court to represent the interests of a child in a custody case. Another example is a lawsuit that is ad litem, meaning it is still ongoing and has not yet been resolved. The term litem is important in legal proceedings because it helps to clarify the status of a case and the roles of the parties involved.
