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.

Προτείνω trial advocacy για το αγγλικό, αλλά ίσως να υπάρχει και κάτι καλύτερο.
Πάντως αναφέρεται στους δικηγόρους των δικαστηρίων σε αντιδιαστολή προς όσους απλώς παρέχουν νομικές συμβουλές, είναι νομικοί σύμβουλοι εταιρειών κ.λπ.

: Το "active" μπορεί να αντιστοιχεί στο "ενεργούς", όχι στο "μαχόμενης".

(83) – This is the case in particular in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Finland and Sweden. With specific regard to the legal position in Cyprus, it should also be noted that, while practising advocates may be members of an undertaking’s board of directors, they may not work as employees or managing directors of that undertaking.
(83) – Τούτο ισχύει μεταξύ άλλων για τη Βουλγαρία, την Τσεχική Δημοκρατία, την Εσθονία, την Ελλάδα, τη Γαλλία, την Ιταλία, την Κύπρο, το Λουξεμβούργο, την Ουγγαρία, την Αυστρία, τη Ρουμανία, τη Σλοβενία, τη Σλοβακική Δημοκρατία , τη Φινλανδία και τη Σουηδία. Ειδικά σε σχέση με τη νομοθεσία που ισχύει στην Κύπρο, επιβάλλεται η περαιτέρω παρατήρηση ότι οι practising advocates (μαχόμενοι δικηγόροι) μπορούν μεν να είναι μέλη του board of directors μιας επιχειρήσεως, εντούτοις τους απαγορεύεται να εργαστούν ως employees (υπάλληλοι) ή ως managing directors στην επιχείρηση αυτή.

Here’s an example of “μαχόμενος δικηγόρος” contrasted with “έμμισθος δικηγόρος”. The terms used here are “self-employed lawyer” and “enrolled in-house lawyer”:
108. Εν αντιθέσει προς όσα υποστηρίζουν οι αναιρεσείουσες και ορισμένοι άλλοι μετέχοντες στη διαδικασία, ούτε από τις δύο οδηγίες για την ευχερέστερη άσκηση του επαγγέλματος του δικηγόρου μπορεί να συναχθεί κάποιο στοιχείο το οποίο θα συνηγορούσε κατ’ ανάγκην υπέρ της εξομοιώσεως των μαχόμενων δικηγόρων με τους έμμισθους δικηγόρους σε σχέση με το δικηγορικό απόρρητο.
108. Moreover, contrary to the view taken by the appellants and some of the other parties to the proceedings, the two directives which seek to facilitate practice of the profession of lawyer contain nothing which would provide compelling support for the proposition that self-employed lawyers and enrolled in-house lawyers should be treated in the same way in relation to legal professional privilege.

I think Nick's "trial advocacy" is all right.
