A quick definition of et sic:

Term: ET SIC

Definition: ET SIC is a Latin phrase that means "and so". It is used as an introductory phrase to conclude a plea in a positive and non-argumentative manner.

A more thorough explanation:

Et sic (pronounced "et sik") is a Latin phrase that means "and so." It is an archaic legal term used to introduce a special conclusion to a plea in bar. The purpose of this phrase is to make the plea positive and not argumentative.

Here are some examples of how et sic might be used in a legal context:

  • "The defendant did not commit the crime, et sic the charges against him should be dropped."
  • "The plaintiff has not provided sufficient evidence to support their claim, et sic the case should be dismissed."

In both of these examples, et sic is used to introduce a conclusion to a plea in bar. It is a way of stating that the plea is not just an argument, but a positive assertion that the charges or case should be dismissed.
