In a generic usage as an adjective it means: eager, inclined to, prone, ready, receptive, willing, all meaning having a certain tendency (i.e.: The court is 'disposed' to look favorably upon the motion.) In this sense, disposed is related to an inclination or tendency.

AnswerAccording to Black's Law Dictionary: a final settlement or determination . When a case is finished, completed, it is said to be "disposed." Dispose is the act of terminating a judicial proceeding.

CLARIFICATION: As can be seen from the above answers the word "dispose" can have two meanings depending upon in what context it is used. (e.g.: The judge is disposed to grant your motion." -or- "This case will be disposedof in the following manner.....")

Disposed is a generic legal term meaning the case or proceeding is completed.

Disposition is used in reference to the way in which the case was resolved. Some examples of the disposition of a case are: conviction, acquittal, dismissal, etc., not to be confused with verdict, which is a finding of guilty or not guilty, etc.
