German term or phrase: zur Einstimmung des Gerichtes
This phrase appears in a petition for an injunction filed with the Patent Division of the Landgericht Berlin:

for the benefit of the court
Explanation:
or: "at the court's convenience" you would say in a written instrument. Facing the judge, though, you would phrase it "...such and such, but if the court will indulge us, we would like to first address..." Hear it all the time from attorneys when on interpreting assignments. Always use "we" and "us" in front of the bench as courtesy to the judge.

warm up the court


Explanation:
basically, the meaning is that the speaker will come back to that contract, but to warm up the jury, the speaker will proceed by presenting other facts that have taken place(probably to give the court a better insight of the problem)

Hope that helps

disagree  gangels (X): You'll get fined for contempt if telling the judge that you are going to "warm up" the court

  -> I was just trying to get the meaning over, as I thought the problem was in understanding the meaning, not necessarily finding the wording
agree  Klaus Herrmann: Yes, something between warming up the court and setting the mood - from Stimmen, as in tuning a piano. http://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/cgi-bin/wort_www.exe?site=2...
