locally groupoidal 2-category

A 2-category is locally groupoidal if each of its hom-categories is a groupoid. In other words, a locally groupoidal 2-category is a (2,1)-category.

As the concept of 2-category makes sense either strictly or weakly (as a bicategory), so a locally groupoidal 2-category might be either a locally groupoidal strict 2-category or a locally groupoidal bicategory. As for 2-categories in general, it is really the strictness of the functors between them that matters.
