notarization by
Obviously, in doing so counsel is not undertaking any representation as to the truth or veracity of the statements contained in the affidavit (notwithstanding the fact that counsel, of course, wrote it).
Of course, you have to translate the "glaubhaft machen," but it's the court's misconception that notarization means much or makes the statement any more credible.

To use \"affidavit\" here is quite simply a misreading.
It is certainly nothing unusual or worth commenting on that the client filed an affidavit. The judge is focusing on the fact that the party\'s lawyer notarized the affidavit.

Hello, Ms. Kelly,
Could you elaborate on your statement, \"affidavits from clients presented by their lawyers\"? I don\'t quite take your meaning.

... affirmation (or: declaration) in lieu of an oath ...
Now I think that this answers could be possible, too.
The term "affidavit" seems to be imprecisely "eine eidesstattliche Versicherung abgeben: to execute an affirmation etc. or to sewar an affidavit"
Something went wrong...
