Thread: terminos legales de spanish-english

I am not a translator of legal documents so I will not presume to say what is correct or incorrect; however, I have some experience with court matters and I offer these minor suggestions:


(YO), ante el juzgado comparece y dice: Before the Court appears and says (I believe the appropriate word in this instance is declares):

Suplico al juzgado se sirva admitir el presente escrito de apelacion contra...: I plead to the Courts to take into consideration all the allegations explained and accepts the appeal against..

In the above instance I think the accepted word when asking something of the court is beg. "beg (ask) the court to take into consideration...".

The word plead is used to describe the attorney's presentation of the case, i.e., to plead (state) the case before the court, or to plead (state)one's innocence or guilt.

While "al juzgado" means "to the court" the word "to" is implied and not used in English. One would beg the court or beg of the court or plead (the case or matter) before the court.
