Obiter dicta (singular obiter dictum, often referred to simply as dicta), Latin for a statement "said by the way," is a remark or observation made by a judge that, although included in the body of the court's opinion, does not form a necessary part of the court's decision. In a court opinion, obiter dicta include, but are not limited to, words "introduced by way of illustration, or analogy or argument." Black's Law Dictionary
