Sub judice is Latin for "under a judge," and it means a case that has been submitted and is under consideration by judge and not for further argument or discussion until he renders a decision.
This phrase is often used in opinions and legal briefs when other cases are cited and discussed, and then the writer refers to "the case sub judice," which means the case currently before the court.
