Rectus in curia: This is a Latin term that means "right in court". It refers to someone who is free from any charges or offenses and is competent to appear in court and receive the benefits of the law. This person is also known as a legalis homo, which means a lawful man. A lawful man has full legal capacity and rights and has not been deprived of any rights in court.
