for convenience Explanation: I think that "motivos" in Spanish can be omitted so you could just consider "por conveniencia" in English Reference: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/law_patents/614... |

peer agreement (net): +4for reasons of expediency Explanation: "Conveniencia" can sometimes be translated as "convenience", but here I just don't think it's the right word. It means confessing to something you didn't do because it suits you or is in your interest to do so, for some reason. "Conveniencia" is related here to "conveniente" in its primary sense: "1. adj. Útil, oportuno, provechoso" (DRAE). It seems to me that the best word to express this is "expediency". Here is a very pertinent example of this very phrase, from Martin Hannibal & Lisa Mountford, Criminal Litigation Handbook: 2007-2008 (Oxford, 2007), p. 139: "If you have concerns about the reliability of your client's admissions, explore them with him. Does your client understand the ingredients of the offence to which he purports to confess, or does he have a defence in law? Consider whether your client may be confessing to something he has not done for reasons of expediency: a desire to protect someone/or a desire to relieve the pressure of a situation, particularly in the case of a drug addict. You should always explore the possibility that the police may have offered your client an inducement to confess". http://books.google.es/books?id=OtIN9_ZXlVsC&pg=PA139&lpg=PA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-03-14 23:24:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "For reasons of convenience" really means because it makes things easier or more comfortable for you, whereas "por motivos de conveniencia" means because it suits you or is to your advantage. "Expediency" means advisability or self-interest, which is essentially the same. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days2 hrs (2013-03-18 00:04:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi, Jim. Well, I don't see why not; both "convenience" and "expediency" ("expedience" is a less common variant for this) mean the same in American English as in British English. Merriam-Webster defines expediency as "the quality or state of being suited to the end in view", American Heritage as "Appropriateness to the purpose at hand", and dictionary.com, based on Random House, as "the quality of being expedient; advantageousness; advisability". "Conveniencia" is not a specifically legal term. But "expediency" is certainly a word that has been and can be used in legal contexts. Here's an example, admittedly in a different sense: "JUSTICE and expediency were often at loggerheads in this arena during 1952" http://heinonline.org/HOL/LandingPage?collection=journals&ha... The question really is does it have the right meaning; in my opinion, it does. If you prefer Ray's "advisable", which I personally find less suitable here, you'll have to say something like "what the Constitutional Congress intended was that the accused should not confess to a crime he did not commit because he considered it advisable to do so". In other words, "por motivos de conveniencia" expresses why people may confess to crimes they did not commit. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days3 hrs (2013-03-18 00:12:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's an example of "for reasons of expediency" in an actual US Statute (2012 Florida Statutes, Title XXVI, Chapter 339.08 (2)), albeit not related to confessions: "The cost of such contracts must not exceed the cost that would be incurred by the department if these functions were to be performed by its personnel or by contract with another entity unless, notwithstanding cost, the department can clearly demonstrate that for reasons of expediency or efficiency it is in the best interests of the department to contract with the Department of Corrections." http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Displ... |
