juristischen

Juristisch is a German adjective meaning related to law or jurisprudence. The form juristischen is one of its declined forms and is used to agree with the noun it modifies in case, number, and gender. For example: die juristischen Dokumente (nominative plural), den juristischen Dokumenten (dative plural), des juristischen Dokuments (genitive singular neuter). Other instances include der juristischen Frau (genitive singular feminine) and die juristischen Antworten (accusative plural). In short, juristischen appears in plural or in cases that require the ending -en.

In usage, juristisch often appears in formal or professional contexts such as law, courts, and academia. It is commonly contrasted with rechtlich, which is a broader term for legal or rightful in everyday language; juristisch tends to carry a more technical or specialized nuance.

A common compound is juristische Person, a legal entity recognized by law that can own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued in its own right. Other frequent phrases include juristische Fakultät (faculty of law), juristische Sprache (legal language), and juristische Beurteilung (legal assessment). The word also appears in discussions of legal theory, statutes, and case law.

Etymology traces juristisch to Latin juris, meaning law, through the Germanic adjective suffix -isch. The term has been part of German legal and academic vocabulary for centuries and remains standard in contemporary legal writing.
