: As a lawyer, I've never asked to have the floor - you address the Court (or approach the bench if solely to the Judge)

Interesting isn't it? Even when a lawyer says, May I address the court..he is speaking to the judge(s) but sometimes, his speech is to be "heard" by a jury...funny huh?

: When you "pede a palavra" in court, you don't necessarity address the court. For example, you can have the floor to ask someone a question. Jorge's context is not that specific.

Thank you for the comment about "chairman". I disagree with your second remark. Yes, one can ask for the floor in court.
