Decree

Demonstrative Evidence

In general, synonymous with judgment. however, in some areas of the law, the term decree is either more common or preferred as in probates of estates, domestic relations (divorce), admiralty law and in equity (court rulings ordering or prohibiting certain acts). thus, there may be references to a final or interlocutory decree of divorce, final decree of distribution of a dead person’s estate, etc.
