This lesson contains 7 nouns and 4 verbs.
A courtroom has different participants and stages, and this list keeps them distinct. Reus is the defendant, jūdex the judge or juror, and crīmen an accusation or crime. Accūsō alleges wrongdoing; condemnō and damnō concern condemnation or sentence. Translating all of these as something bad happening would erase the difference between a charge and a decision. Adsum is irregular and can mean being present or supporting, while ēloquentia describes the power of expression. No Challenge III week is mapped to Lesson 20 in the reference schedule, so its seminar timing must come from the reader's current assignment. For preparation, identify who accuses, who answers and who judges in the passage being studied. Before the final vocabulary page, distinguish the legal roles, recognise adesse and adfuī as forms of adsum, and preserve the difference between accusation and established judgement.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-declension nouns (4), 1st-conjugation verbs (3), 1st-declension nouns (2), irregular verbs (1), 2nd-declension nouns (1).
No. Reus is the defendant or accused person; jūdex is a judge or juror. Confusing them reverses the courtroom relationship.
The reference vocabulary schedule has no mapping for it. Its use in seminar depends on the reading assigned by your course or director.
