Hola, estoy traduciendo una sentencia de Puerto Rico y me aparece la siguiente oración:

¿Alguna idea?

(PR - crim./AmE) Initial summary hearing; (E&W previously) committal hearing
Explanation:
Committal for trial vs. (imprisonment) for contempt.

Readers need not worry if they don't understand the committal procedure - of old - in the UK. Many law students, with notable exceptions, don't.

agree  philgoddard: Thanks for reassuring me. I lose a lot of sleep over my poor grasp of UK committal procedure.

  -> No sweat. It wasn't in fact you I had been referring to.

agree  AllegroTrans: Forget the old - unlikely to be undestood in either South or North America

  -> OK, but committal is still an 'obvious' English Common Law answer in the context, and rarely used in ProZ answers into ENG.

Preliminar/summary hearing


Explanation:
La Vista sumaria inicial hace parte de un proceso legal que tiene tres partes y es llevado a cabo por un magistrado. 1 trámite preliminar; 2 Vista Sumaria Inicial; y 3 visita final.
La Vista sumaria inicial se refiere, por ejemplo, a un trámite de valoración legal inicial que permite establecer el estado en el que se encuentra un individuo con un estatus penal de libertad condicional (libertad a prueba) sobre todo si se presume que ha habido alguna infracción de la ley por parte del individuo. También se puede pensar como una audiencia inicial en la que un juez evalúa la situación y puede llegar a imputar cargos. en ese sentido diría que es una preliminary hearing. Por supuesto, te sugiero que revises el léxico específico en el contexto de la lengua de destino. si es Estados Unidos, creo que la segunda referencia que puse puede ser una buena guía. Espero que sirva, saludos.

Perdón, no preliminar sino preliminary, con "y" al final
