Law/Patents - Law (general) / abogados postulantes
Spanish term or phrase: abogados postulantes
La transformación en el sistema de justicia penal no solo involucró una transición de un sistema inquisitivo hacia uno acusatorio y oral, sino también un verdadero cambio de paradigma en la formación de los profesionales del derecho; el sistema penal posee diversas líneas que requieren la profesionalización de los operadores del sistema, abogados postulantes, academia e incluso de la sociedad.

Encontré esta definición:

Cuando se habla de un abogado postulante hace referencia a que estos abogados forman parte de un juicio. Estos abogados se ocupan de proponer ciertas acciones sustentado bajo un fundamento. Mientras, que el abogado litigante, interviene en un pleito judicial como parte interesa o como abogado.

Muchas gracias.

agree  Seth Phillips: Exactly. For some reason Trial Lawyer/Attorney and Litigator are lumped together in some legal dictionaries, when they are opposites just as postulante and litigante are :)

Explanation:

Here is an entry (unfortunately too in French) but with an English explanation: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/law-patents/117... (the person who answered, I believe is out of Canada and a lawyer herself).

Do be careful with this one.


Explanation:
This has nothing to do with a candidate. It has everything to do with the very strict rules of rights of audience. Each French "avocat" is attached to a specific "bar" and cannot plead in courts which are outside his sector. Where this turns out to be necessary, when X has been instructed by his client, and the case takes him outside of his sector, then X has to instruct B to act. B is the "avocat postulant".

*****Lawyer yes, counsel instructed to act*****, yes. Candidate, certainly not.

The same question has come up on Translators Café https://www.translatorscafe.com/tcterms/en-US/question.aspx?... again with the confusing terms and endless chatter.
