Judicial Release Law & Legal Definition

A judicial release is the release of someone who is incarcerated through an order by a court. It is a process by which an eligible offender meeting certain requirements may be released from incarceration by the sentencing judge. It is also referred to in some cases as shock probation. State and local judicial release laws vary by jurisdiction, so local law should be consulted.
