The trial or lower Court
Explanation:
Same in other Romance lingos, but NOT in English as English-speaking lawyers have asked what the Latin term means cf. the talk on Latin law terms at the 2005 FIT Congress in Tampere, Finland.

Explanation:
the "a quo" court is the one from which a dispute is sent/referred to the "ad quem" court, so the rest of the sentence has to be written based on your context. You could simply stay with " a quo" but I prefer to provide clarity to the reader where possible.
