Understanding Vicinage: Definition and Examples

Vicinage refers to a nearby or adjacent area. It can be used to describe a geographic area that is close to a particular location, such as a neighborhood or a region.

For example, "The new restaurant is located in the vicinage of the city center" means that the restaurant is near the city center, perhaps within walking distance.

In legal contexts, vicinage can refer to a specific jurisdiction or court district that covers a nearby area. For instance, "The defendant was tried in the vicinage of the crime scene" means that the trial was held in the court that has jurisdiction over the area where the crime occurred.
