What does adjudicatory mean in a court of law?

jail

Terence Hamilton Hall has written:

'A draft administrative procedure code for federal adjudicatory hearings'

The Fifth Amendment can be asserted in any proceeding, civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory; and it protects against any disclosures which the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used

The Indian Civil Rights Act, however, limits tribal punishment to 6 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. Tribal Courts have no criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians. The state has been granted criminal and civil adjudicatory jurisdiction over activities in Indian Country.
