German term

Plädoyernotizen

German to English Law/Patents Law (general) Swiss court case filing
This is a document from a Swiss court case.

It looks like the plaintiffs brief or pleadings. However it is on the law firm's letterhead, in the form of a letter to the court. The heading is Plädoyernotizen.

Sounds like Pleading Notes.

Is there a standard translation for this term? Pleading Memorandum?

outline submissions (US) summation or memoranda of pleadings

In the UK, I think this would be called 'skeleton pleadings', but we need to careful about the overtones of 'skeletons in the (family) cupboard' for non-UK use.

Quaere the French equivalent of note(s) de plaidoirie: 'written submission(s) summaris/zing Counsel's address' FHS Bridge, Council of Europe FRE/ENG Glossary.

Not necessarily closing submissions.

You are welcome. I'm glad I was derailed from the 'closing address' siding, though with not enough time to pick the brains of your namesake: my US-born and French-speaking student friend, Peter Weiss, still lawyering in Downtown London's West End.

Thanks- I made the 'outline submissions' deliberately 'Allegro-neutral'.
neutral Daniel Arnold (X) : far fetched

I have long had - since Lord Woolf's UK civil justice reforms in 1998 (limit pleadings to 10 pages & 15 for PI cases) and in my own FRE/ENG glossaries - (UK) skeleton pleadings for (CH) 'notes de plaidoirie' & that IMO is on all fours with the German.

plea notice

A notice of an upcoming plea.

disagree AllegroTrans : It's a document in an ongoing case so this doesn't work, nor does a literal translation

written pleadings

I am fairly sure this is the meaning of Plädoyernotizen
Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : I cannot see the whole 'bundle' of pleadings being delivered to the court in a single letter

The written pleadings is a document of theoretically any length. Dont mix up pleadings with the case materials, pleadings are what one Party asks the court to decide (in their favour). Not more than that, usually a couple of pages. I've had them before.

4. Übergabe der Plädoyernotizen an das Gericht
Viele Gerichte lassen es zu, dass der Anwalt seine Plädoyernotizen dem Richter oder dem Gerichtsschreiber übergibt, um die Führung des Protokolls zu erleichtern. Wenn die Übergabe solcher Plädoyernotizen möglich ist, sollte davon Gebrauch gemacht werden. Einige der Nachteile des mündlichen Vortrags gegenüber einer schriftlichen Eingabe können auf diese Weise vermindert werden.

Art. 232 Schlussvorträge

1 Nach Abschluss der Beweisabnahme können die Parteien zum Beweisergebnis und zur Sache Stellung nehmen. Die klagende Partei plädiert zuerst. Das Gericht gibt Gelegenheit zu einem zweiten Vortrag.

2 Die Parteien können gemeinsam auf die mündlichen Schlussvorträge verzichten und beantragen, schriftliche Parteivorträge einzureichen. Das Gericht setzt ihnen dazu eine Frist.

“Oral argument notes”
Timothy R. Johnson, “The Digital Archives of Justices Blackmun and Powell Oral Argument Notes.” Available at https://sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/trj/harry-a-blackmun-oral... See Justice Blackmun's oral argument notes in Jefferson v. Hackney 406 U.S. 535 (1972)(70‐5064) found at: http://users.polisci.umn.edu/∼trj/OAnotesbyterm75/HAB75/1971%20term/70-5064.jpg

This does not mean, however, that counsel should approach the lectern with no oral argument notes or outline. Although a few advocates are able to present effective arguments without reliance on notes, most find that an outline or list of points is essential to assure continuity in the argument[…]

neutral AllegroTrans : I don't think oral argument notes are filed: surely they are aides mémoires?
