Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Edith Kelly

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

AllegroTrans Feb 25, 2014:
'motions' are not pleadings
'Pleadings' is also used in the US

Would this be what we call 'motions' in the USA?

(E&W) Statements of Case; (AmE) briefs; (Scots) pleadings

Not always a good idea to pluralise a noun like Schriftsatz that is in the KudoZ glossaries at least 5 times in various permutations and combinations.

set of documents

Pleaders (brief defending a position/seeking redress) is much too specific.

Schriftsätze can be anything printed on paper including supporting evidence (interrogatories in legal lingo), receipts/tax returns, affidavits, expert opinions etc. etc.
