使用する際の注意点

Many editors maintain a differentiation between judicial and judicious and believe that writers should not confuse judicial (having to do with justice and judiciary systems) with judicious (showing good judgment), so for example judicious use of X (i.e. wisely chosen) is not interchangeable with judicial use of X (i.e. by the courts). Meanwhile, the word juridical is not well differentiated in meaning from judicial, the two having substantial semantic overlap.
