Spanish term

libro de presentaciones

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) English of lawyers/proced
Good Saturday/Sunday everyone.

Instead of a custodial sentence, a Court imposes on a group of defendants a non-custodial measure consisting of reporting periodically before the Court for a period of six (06) months. Each appearance before the Court is recorded in a “libro de presentaciones”.

What do you call such a book in English?

Context:

…sin embargo este tribunal considera que los supuestos que motivan la privación judicial preventiva de libertad, pueden ser razonablemente satisfechos con la aplicación de una medida cautelar menos gravosa para los imputados,
razón por la cual este Tribunal acuerda imponer en su lugar la medida cautelar sustitutiva establecida en el numeral 3 del artículo 256 del Código Orgánico Procesal Penal, consistente en presentación cada quince (15) días por un lapso de seis (06) meses ante la Oficina de Alguacilazgo del Circuito Judicial Penal del Estado Miranda con sede en Los Teques, debiendo presentarse el día de mañana a los fines de aperturar el respectivo LIBRO DE PRESENTACIONES.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
