sala = chamber; excma. = excelentísima Explanation: I would use "chamber" here. Court is generally a "tribunal". "Excma." is an abbreviation for "excelentísima", and is often not translated in English, but instead simply omitted. It's just a sort of fancy title. Oxford Spanish (Spanish-English, English-Spanish) Dictionary |

Civil and Commercial (or Mercantile) Division of the Court of Appeals Explanation: I would DIVISION for "sala" since it is an operating or administrative unit of a government, court, business or school system, and for "cámara" I would obviously use COURT. I think in this case "cámara" refers to a judicial business that may be properly transacted by a judge at his chambers or elsewhere, not necessarily by a court in session. Source: West's Law & Comm. Dictionary Regards, Sery |

Clerk of the Civil and Commercial Division of the Explanation: Honorable Court of Appeals This another way of saying it. I agree with Sery that Sala in this instance is translated as division. Alcaraz Varo has "sala de apelación = court of appeal, appeals court, appellate court, appellate division) sala de lo civil = civil court/ civil division of a court Excelentísima = Honorable can fit nicely in this sentence. Alcaraz-Varo/Hughes Dicc. de T�rminos Jur�dicos |
