SPECIAL TERM
In court practice in some jurisdictions, a branch of the court system held by a single judge for hearing and deciding motions and equitable actions in the first instance.
This type of term is called special to distinguish it from a general term, which is ordinarily held by three judges sitting en banc to hear appeals or to hear and determine cases brought during the regular session of the court.
