What is the definition of "AD LITEM"?

The term "AD LITEM" is a Latin phrase that translates to "for the purposes of the lawsuit." It is commonly used in legal contexts to refer to a person designated by the court to represent someone who is unable to represent themselves in a legal proceeding, such as a minor or an individual with a disability.

In this context, the correct answer relates to the concept of representing someone "to the suit," emphasizing the role of the ad litem representative in the legal process. This term underscores the specific purpose of the representation, which is directly related to the ongoing lawsuit, rather than implying a broader context or another meaning. The other choices do not accurately reflect this focused legal meaning, which is why they are not correct.
