English term

entering a plea

Non-PRO English to Spanish Law/Patents
"You may speak to your attorney before entering a plea."

Is this right?

"Podrá hablar con su abogado antes de declararse."

Or is "entering a plea" the same as declararse or is it "registrar su declaracion."

Proposed translations

1 hr

presentar un alegato

(alegato, of course, is related to the English word "allege")

Cheers!

...antes de declararse culpable o inocente

In case it is the defendant's answer to a charge, the translation would be:

Puede hablar con su abogado antes de declararse culpable o inocente.

I think you need the "culpable o inocente".

declarar su inocencia ó cupabilidad

Es lo mismo que ya dijo ZoeZoe. ¡Suerte!
