admonishment

A public admonishment is typically issued for serious misconduct.

While many took to right-wing media to lodge attacks on a political candidate in the face of a mass shooting, others simultaneously trotted out the tired admonishment against politicizing a tragedy.

Earlier this week Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare admonishment, without naming Trump, saying impeachment was "not an appropriate response".

The trial court sustained the objection but gave the jury no admonishments or instructions with respect to this part of the prosecutor’s arguments.”

But when the two reconvene, there is no talk of favors or captious admonishments, only the authentic joy of seeing a friend’s familiar face after so long.
