judgment Explanation: "The official and authentic decision of a court of justice upon the respective rights and claims of the parties to an action or suit therein litigated or submitted to its determination" (del Black's) El mismo diccionario dice de "sentence": The word is properly confined to criminal proceedings. In civil cases, the terms "judgment", "decision" "award" "finding", etc. are used. Te sugiero "judgment" por ser el término más amplio. Convendría que pongas la pregunta en el área EN>ES, para que opinen los colegas con más entrenamiento en el inglés como lengua de destino. Otro comentario para Parrot: en Argentina, por ejemplo, la Corte Suprema sí sentencia sobre casos particulares, porque es la última instancia de apelación. Deduzco que en España es diferente. Saludos, Patricia |

decision (of the Supreme Court) Explanation: "Decision" es una de las varias posibilidades; "finding", o "ruling" serían otras. No "sentence". "Supreme Court" no necesita "of Justice" en inglés. Buena suerte. |

decision Explanation: In the United States, the official term is “decision.” A specific decision is referred to as "Decision" with a capital D. Look at this citation from an official government web site: http://www.fedworld.gov/supcourt/index.htm “HISTORIC FILE OF SUPREME COURT DECISIONS This system contains the full text of 7,407 U.S. Supreme Court Decisions from 1937 to 1975. Decisions are available as ASCII text files that can be read on your browser's screen or saved to your hard drive and accessed by using most word processor programs. Most Decisions are very large and may take a while to download if you have a slow internet connection. After conducting a search, the search results screen lists the size of the Decision in bytes so that you can estimate download times.” In legal commentary, decisions are often referred to as “rulings” or “judgments” as well. but in the context you provided, “decisions” would be the optimal choice. Keep in mind that the above applies to the US. Whether and how it applies to other settings may be a bit tricky. If I were in your situation, I would use “decisions.” Fuad See citation above |
