if it please the court... in spanish is???

Question

Just want to know how you say, "if it please the court" in español....

pleases..or is that a subjunctive use in English? - 0074b507, Jan 8, 2012

Should be pleases, but never mind, a genuine need for outside help, I think. - annierats, Jan 8, 2012

And actually, the phrase is probably ancient and please is probaby correct, on second thoughts. - annierats, Jan 8, 2012

i think it's subjunctive. just an opinion - Valerie, Jan 8, 2012

Answer 1

There is a bit of a problem here. Of course you can translate it but it would have no meaning in a Mexican court. It would likely get you a good scolding from the judge.

The protocol of the law from the English to the Mexican system is quite different. we will need an attorney from a Spanish speaking country to respond to this.

Good answer, paco! - annierats, Jan 8, 2012

Answer 6

" If it please the court¨ a classic English usage in law proceedings, would not be used in Mexico because of the difference in the legal systems.

I cannot speak for other Latin American countries, but for Mexico it just would not be used.

Answer 7

Si es al gusto del tribunal.

This is not good, I have no experience of courts whatsoever. Yet.
