Explanation
In German legal context, a proceeding before a court is called a "Prozess" (trial/lawsuit). The other terms are used for general procedures (Prozedur), records/minutes (Protokoll), or plans (Programm), not court cases.
Tips
- Look for legal-specific vocabulary. Terms associated with court actions include lawsuit, trial, hearing, or case. Eliminate words that mean plan, minutes/records, or generic procedure. When unsure, think of common collocations like ‘before a court’ and match with the legal term that denotes a lawsuit/trial.
