Soca is a shortened form of the word "soc" which means a liberty of exercising private jurisdiction. It is a privilege granted to a seigniory of holding a tenant's court. It also refers to the territory subject to such private jurisdiction.

1. The lord of the manor had the power of soca over his tenants, which meant he could hold a court to settle disputes and collect fines.
