Spanish term or phrase: ante nuestra consideración
Hola forer@s.., tengo una duda sobre cómo traducir esta frase contenida en un documento legal. El juez escribió que las pruebas fueron presentadas "ante nuestra consideración"... ¿cómo sería en inglés? "Presented to/before us for consideration?" ¿O existe una frase que se utilice comúnmente para esto en los tribunales de EE.UU.? De veras tengo que mirar programas de tv legales. ¡Gracias!

Thanks for your suggestion. All of them are very good, however, I liked this rendition the best. It turns out I have not heard back from the client who needed this translation, but if I end up working on it. this is what I would choose.

  -> Sí, traducción literal, simple y sencillamente.
agree  AllegroTrans: or simply "placed before us", or if this is one sole judge you would have to say "before me" in English

agree  Giovanni Rengifo: I like your version the best, but I'd say there's no need to use a comma here. And depending on the context, "submit" (instead of present) would be a plausible option here. Would you agree with me? | At face value? I don't understand what you mean.
6 hrs
  -> Just take it at face value. Thanks for your "agree". Sorry—I've been having a good time over on a PT>EN question this morning. Yes, "submit" would be good, too.

to us to take under advisement (AmE)


Explanation:
las pruebas fueron presentadas : the items of evidence were submitted to us to take under advisement (deliberation pre-judgment).

Pls note the question: '... en los tribunales de EE.UU.'

consideración : consideration; advisement, Robb.

avizandum to be looked into or considered; the 'taking of time for consideration before a judgement is given'.

Merriam-Webster: US Definition of advisement : careful consideration : deliberation take a matter under advisement.

> take under advisement: North American : reserve judgement while considering something.



Example sentence(s):
  • US / Louisiania: Cases Under Advisement; Reports from Circuit Courts of Appeal
  • all cases which have been *fully submitted and under advisement* for longer than thirty days, together with an explanation of the reasons for any delay and an expected date of decision.

neutral  AllegroTrans: Yes your suggestion is a term used in USA but I see nothing to indicate a reserved judgment in the asker's text; "before us/me" - nothing more
