What does JURAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A clause at the end of an affidavit stating when, where and before whom it was sworn, or, in some jurisdictions, an official who administers oaths and performs local judicial duties.
The jurat is the short formal statement a notary or officer adds to a sworn document to record the date, place and person before whom the oath was taken, which is what makes an affidavit legally valid. In the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey the same word names a jurat, a locally elected magistrate who sits alongside judges in civil and criminal matters. Both senses trace back to the Latin for something sworn, tying the document clause and the office together.
