  • Authorities, courts and procedure

  • What’s the difference between “proceedings” and “procedure”, between “judgment” and “sentence”, between “guilt”, “liability”, and “fault”?
  • What’s the English for “Bescheid”, “Beschwerde” and “Revision”?
  • to be charged WITH theft, to be awarded € 1,000 IN damages, to be fined _ € 150
