in Law, signifies a judgment whereby one is deprived or put by a thing in question.

To be forejudged the court, is where an officer or attorney of any court is expelled the fame for malpractice, or for not appearing to an action on a bill filed against him, &c. And where an attorney of the common-pleas is sued, the plaintiff's attorney delivers the bill to one of the criers of the court, who calls the attorney defendant, and solemnly proclaims aloud, that, if he does not appear thereto, he will be forejudged: likewise a rule is given by the secondary for his appearance; and if the attorney appears not in four days, then the clerk of the warrants strikes such an attorney off the roll of attorneys; after which he becomes liable to be arrested like any other person; but where an attorney is forejudged, he may be restored on clearing himself from his contumacy, and making satisfaction to the plaintiff, &c.
