[Date: 1100-1200; Language: Old French; Origin: Latin circumstantia, from circumstare 'to stand around', from circum- ( CIRCUM-) + stare 'to stand']

In law, attendant circumstances (sometimes external circumstances) are the facts surrounding an event.

Aggravating circumstance is a circumstance attending [be with, 伴随] the commission [doing] of a crime which increases its enormity [极恶; 凶恶; 严重罪行; atrocity] or adds to its consequences.

In criminal law, a mitigating factor, also known as extenuating [mitigating] circumstances, is any information or evidence presented to the court regarding the defendant or the circumstances of the crime that might result in reduced charges or a lesser sentence. Unlike a legal defense, it cannot lead to the acquittal of the defendant. In other words, mitigating circumstances or factors make a bad action, especially a crime, easier to understand and excuse, and may result in the person responsible being punished less severely. The opposite of a mitigating factor is an aggravating factor.

An exigent [urgent] circumstance, in the criminal procedure law of the United States, allows law enforcement, under certain circumstances, to enter a structure without a search warrant or, if they have a "knock and announce" warrant, without knocking and waiting for the owner's permission to enter.
