Letters rogatory - not the plural and word order - are part of the process.

Yo he traducido ya unas cuantas a estas alturas. En alemán, "Rechtshilfeersuchen". En italiano, "commissione rogatoria". Todo eso para comisión rogatoria, que es lo que viene a ser el auxilio judicial, que en definitiva se trata de la cooperación judicial entre autoridades de normalmente dos países dentro de Europa. Hay varias maneras válidas de referirse a ello. Mi respuesta es sólo una más, en ningún caso excluyente de otras que te puedan ofrecer las / los compañeras / os.

Mutual legal assistance is the traditional form of judicial cooperation.
A judicial authority sends a letter of request ("letter rogatory") to a foreign judicial authority to perform an action in its territory. For example, legal assistance may be requested to search a building or confiscate a property.
This form of judicial cooperation is not exclusive to EU members and may be slow and complex at times.
A more advanced form of judicial cooperation is the mutual recognition of judgements and judicial decisions.

Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : it's called "letters rogatory" (note the plural) and this is only a part of the process: a more generic term is called for

Letter rogatory

The European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters is a 1959 Council of Europe mutual legal assistance treaty. It has been ratified by all 47 member states of the Council of Europe.

The parties to the Convention agree to offer each other "the widest measure of mutual assistance" in investigating crimes, procuring evidence, and in prosecuting criminal suspects. The Convention specifies the requirements that requests for legal assistance and **letters rogatory** from the "requesting state" to the "requested state" have to meet. The Convention also sets out rules for the enforcement of such letters rogatory by the authorities of the requested state.

The Convention was concluded in Strasbourg, France, on 20 April 1959 and entered into force on 12 June 1962. In 2009, San Marino became the 47th and final member state of the Council of Europe to ratify the Convention, making it one of the few universal Conventions amongst member states of the Council. The Convention has also been ratified by Chile, Israel, and South Korea.

Letters Rogatory
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Letters Rogatory

A formal written request made by one judicial body to another court in a different, independent jurisdiction that a witness who resides in that jurisdiction be examined through the use of interrogatories accompanying the request.

A device used in International Law by which the courts of one country ask the courts of another to utilize their procedure to assist the country making the request in the administration of justice within its borders.

The use of letters rogatory can be traced to early American Legal History when they facilitated cooperation between the courts of the several states of the Union. Their continued use is based primarily upon the comity (courtesy and respect) of courts toward each other. Rule 28 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides for letters rogatory to be used in federal courts to obtain the testimony of a witness who resides in a foreign country through a number of different discovery devices. The Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters (28 U.S.C.A. § 1781 [1948]) sets out the procedures to be followed in the use of letters rogatory by the countries who are parties to the treaty.

Letters rogatory can be sent to a court in a sister state or to a court or judge in a foreign country. Granting the request, again, is a matter of comity between courts.
