How it's used

This term is primarily used in formal legal contexts and carries a heavy, serious weight. Unlike everyday verbs for judging or evaluating, it specifically refers to the official judicial process of hearing a case in court. It is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing news, crime, or legal drama.

Common mistake

Avoid using this word to mean judging someone's character or personal behavior, as that would sound overly dramatic or like you are accusing them of a crime. For judging someone's personality, use 評論 or 批評 instead.
