• Abolition / Repeal — The act of abolishing and its result; the official abolition, annulment, suppression, or repeal of a law, custom, public institution, or legal social status, through an act of public authority.
• Administration — An obsolete, bookish, and purely etymological form of the noun 'administrație' (administration); historically denoted the body of public services, executive offices, or the clerical apparatus tasked with running state or institutional affairs, heavily used in 19th-century Romanian legislation.
• Excommunication — The act of excommunicating or anathematizing; a solemn ecclesiastical decree by which a person is excluded from the community of believers. In old Romanian feudal law, this measure represented a severe spiritual punishment as well as a form of civil death, stripping the condemned of legal protections.
• To pardon — To grant an individual pardon to a definitively convicted person, totally or partially exempting them from serving a judicially imposed sentence, or commuting it to a lighter penalty through an act of clemency issued by the head of state. This legal act removes only the execution of the punishment, while the underlying conviction and criminal record remain intact.
• To amnesty — To grant amnesty; to clear, through an official legal act or a legislative decree, the criminal liability, legal consequences, and penalties applied to persons who committed certain offenses. In an extended structural sense, the term reflects a collective or individual pardon granted by the supreme authority of a state, symbolically erasing guilt for political or social reconciliation.
• Amnesty — A legal act of clemency adopted by the supreme legislative power through which criminal liability is removed for certain offenses committed prior to its publication. This structural mechanism causes the termination of criminal action, the cancellation of sentences already pronounced, and the automatic erasure of convictions from the criminal record, acting as a legal oblivion of the deed to achieve social or political stability.
• Amnestying — Having the power, faculty, or quality of granting amnesty; a statutory act, decree, or sovereign political authority that produces the legal effects of an amnesty. In legal theory, it describes the specific character of a clemency law that extinguishes criminal action and symbolically annuls the execution of sentences set by courts.
• Apravat — A rare historical term or administrative archaism used in the old princely chancelleries of the Romanian regions (especially in Moldavia and Wallachia) to denote a decree, decision, official directive, or a written legal rule with binding character. This structural instrument served as a territorial or administrative regulatory act issued directly by the ruling prince or the boyar council.
• Interlocutory decree — A historical and archaic term, borrowed from Romance languages, designating an intermediary judicial decision, an ordinance, or a provision by which a court fixed deadlines, established procedural rules, or granted sums of money as a pension or provisional salary; in old colloquial language, it could also indicate a scheduled meeting or a formal agreement.
• Establishment — A graphical variant using 'î' for the term 'așezământ'; an institution of public, cultural, social, charitable, or religious nature (such as an asylum, a school, a hospital, or a monastery), established on the basis of a clearly defined legal statute. In a historical context, it designated an official convention, a treaty, a legislation, or a structural princely decree that established mandatory rules for the country's administrative organization.
• Assizes — A historical term used in medieval English and French law (originating from the phrase 'the assizes') to denote periodic courts, sessions of royal tribunals, or decrees and edicts issued by sovereigns to regulate the prices, weights, and measures of consumer goods (such as the famous 'Assize of Bread and Ale'). In the context of legal databases, the term functions as a technical noun describing the institutional evolution of jury courts in the Common Law system.
