Legal Capitalization Standards in Skill Tests
Capitalizing generic terms incorrectly (or failing to capitalize specific legal titles) results in half-error penalty deductions during judgment transcription checking.
Judicial Term Capitalization Matrix
| Word | Capitalize (Upper Case) When... | Lower Case When... |
|---|---|---|
| Court | Referring to a specific court (e.g. This Court holds...) | Referring generically (e.g. a local court session) |
| State | Referring to State as a legal entity (e.g. State of UP v. Rahul) | Referring to geographical state regions |
| Act | Referring to a specific statute (e.g. the Companies Act) | Referring to a general physical act or deed |
