Literary notes about Adjudicator (AI summary)
In literature, the word "adjudicator" is employed to denote an authoritative figure tasked with resolving disputes or making key decisions. It often appears as the "Lord High Adjudicator," a title that emphasizes both formality and decisive power, as seen when he inquires about the duration of someone's state ([1]) or directs proceedings ([2], [3]). The term also extends to more secular or bureaucratic contexts, such as being the principal adjudicator in academic settings ([4]) or serving as the final authority in civil cases ([5]). Additionally, its use can introduce a tone of levity or nuanced character portrayal, such as when the adjudicator is involved in everyday conversations or humorous interludes ([6], [7]).
