Ad o A Quo es el tribunal inferior. Generalmente es primer tribunal que dicta una resolucion acerca de un caso. AD QUEN es el tribunal superior que puede revisar la sentencia o resolucion del inferior cuando esta es apelada. No creo que estas expresiones deban ser traducidas pero en el contexto se puede hacer una aclaracion.

A QUO/AD QUEM

My comment:

I believe it would be better not to translate these expressions.

See www.law.dictionary.org (they are not translated but are expressed as above (in the Latin) in English-language contexts.

My comment:

El diccionario dice:

a quo.
1. Der. Aquel de cuyo fallo se recurre.

ad quem.
1. Der. juez ante quien se interpone la apelación de otro inferior.
2. Der. En los recursos o apelaciones, aquel ante quien se acude contra el fallo de otro
inferior.

Sabiendo eso, puede hacer la traducción al ingles, ¿no?

Christa, I could not imagine why someone who apparently is looking for assistance with a legal term would go through the risk of coming up with their own translation even if they use the RAE as point of reference. Your point might be well intentioned, but it misses the search for the possible nuance that would make a phrase unique to the legal community. This is a professional forum, if we all could come up with the answers ourselves, we wouldn't need to have a question section.

You are right in part, of course, as the correct translation then always depends on the context, doesn't it? You know, that for one word you can have a lot of different words in another language. So once you know the meaning of a foreign word in the text (here it is latin in a spanish text), then you can easily find the right word in the language you translate to.

My comment:

Black's Law Dictionary: ad quem - to whom - this term is usedas a correlative to a quo in computation of time and distance. For example: the "terminus a quo" is the point of beginning or departure; the "terminus ad quem" is the end of the period or point of arrival

My references:

In Brazil "a quo" means also the tribunal against which you appeal and "ad quem" the tribunal in which you lodge your appeal

from which and to which

My comment:

it would be useful to have more context, as "a" and "ad" might have different meanings according to the verbs that precede them, but in my mothertongue (Italian) this is what it means
