peer agreement (net): +1| 具状 make a submission [to the court] Explanation: In the context you later give, it looks like the court is calling for motions (called 声请状 in Taiwan), but there's no need for your English to be more specific than the Chinese. I'd just call it a "submission" and let the context clarify the meaning. |
