Coram non judice,

legal term typically used to indicate a legal proceeding that is outside the presence of a judge (or in the presence of a person who is not a judge),[1] with improper venue, or without jurisdiction
. Any indictment or sentence passed by a court which has no authority to try an accused of that offence, is clearly in violation of the law and would be coram non judice and a nullity. The exception non sui juris, "not of one's own right", is available at any time, including after judgment (Bracton).

The "coram" part of the term means "in the presence of".[2]
