I would like to know what will be the best way to translate this phrase from American English into legal Spanish used in The US.
Will be okay to translate this as "Procedimientos criminales ?
This is a Spanish-English transcription and translation project for the court of Illinois.
Thanks for your help.

Discussion
This was not my requirement. It was the requirement of my client to use the legal Spanish used in The US.
Thanks.

I might add that there is no such thing as legal Spanish used in the US.
