•     Oyez

美国最高院开庭前，总要连喊三遍Oyez，叫大家注意并保持肃静，作为开庭前法官入席的一个仪式，Oyez一词起源于法语，在诺曼公爵征服英国后被作为法庭语言引进英国，意思是“注意听”或“你们听”。美国最高法院开庭前都会进行这么一段，充满了宗教的仪式感。

e.g. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!

•     May it please the court

在美国法院，尤其是高级的法院，律师在陈述前一般都会说“May it please the court”， 意思为“庭上，请允许我…”,以显示对法庭的尊敬。

•     Your Honor

“You Honor”的原意是“阁下；大人”，一般是律师在法庭上对法官的尊称，译为“尊敬的法官大人”。而在平常，则会直接称法官为“judge”, 在各种美国的律政剧中，最常听见的一句话就是“Objection, your honor”。在英国，在法庭上称呼法官则是“My Lord”。
