in term
a. Law. Each of the four periods in the year (in England and Wales, Hilary, Easter, Trinity, and Michaelmas term: see the first elements), alternating with vacations, during which judicial business is transacted. Also without article, esp. in in term. Now usually superseded in official use in England and Wales by sitting: see note below.Recorded earliest in term time n. 1a.The length of the legal terms varied over time. Under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873 (36 & 37 Vict., c. 66) these terms were abolished, and under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1875 (38 & 39 Vict., c. 77) they were replaced by four sittings (Hilary, Easter, Trinity, and Michaelmas; cf. sitting n. 3a), of fixed length and date of commencement. However, in the Inns of Court the legal year is still divided into terms (of the same name as the court sittings but shorter in length), and ‘term’ is still commonly used unofficially and informally by lawyers to refer to a sitting.
