Ad litem
Ad litem is a term used in law to refer to a party appointed by a court to act in a lawsuit on behalf of another party—for instance, a child or an incapacitated adult—who is deemed incapable of representing themselves. An individual who acts in this capacity is called a guardian ad litem. This term is no longer used in the United Kingdom since the passage of the Children Act 1989, which established the role of children's guardian instead.
