Spanish term or phrase: sala apoderada
Hi all,

Could you help me with "sala apoderada"?

I am including the paragraph so you get more context.

Por las razones antes expuestas, no es posible vaticinar el tiempo. No obstante, según nuestra experiencia el caso en primer grado puede tomarse de 5 a 8 meses (o más tiempo, dependiendo la sala apoderada), de 4 a 8 meses en apelación, y entre 1 y 2 años en la Suprema Corte de Justicia.

Thank you!!

regards,

María Lacoste

Conforme el diccionario jurídico por Thomas West, "sala" es "division" (of a court) y el uso de "apoderado" es "authorized".

think a general expression works well here because the exact nature or court type isn't clearly defined.
