English term or phrase: DUI Court program
Hola, tengo muchas dudas con respecto a este párrafo...

1. If this plea is allowed by the Court, I agree to give up the rights necessary to carry out the agreement set forth herein and in the Plea Forms (Tahl Forms) and Probation Addendum executed along with this Plea Agreement. I have consulted with Counsel, and/or feel that I understand the DUI Court program and feel that it is a Program in which I can be successful and which will benefit me. I accept the consequences outlined below and Probation Addendum, incorporated by reference herein.

Programa judicial DUI (para conductores ebrios)
Explanation:
"Judicial" because it is the catch-all adjective for anything having to do with 'court'. "De la corte", or "del tribunal", or "del juzgado" is too many words.

"Court program" = "Programa judicial" It's that simple.

These are DUIs. This isn't about substance abuse treatment, and it really has nothing to do with alcoholism or drug addiction.

The full translation for DUI, by the way, is "Conducir bajo los efectos" or "...en estado de ebriedad". Besides all the sensitivity, "manejar" and "influencia" are simply wrong.

I'm a court-certified interpreter.

agree  Richard Boulter: This is the clearest wording that is suggested here. Tanya's excellent refs clarify the various issues and terminology. I would put this Answer in parentheses, following 'programa antisustancia majestral / del tribunal ' or some such shorter expression.

disagree  JoseAlejandro: It's kind of a mouthful, actually...and, "corte" should never be used in this context. Sorry.

dui court program
Programa de DUI del Juzgado/Tribunal


Explanation:
Yo no traduciría DUI (Driving under the influence). Se puede agregar una nota o explicación de la sigla ahí o más adelante (Programa de abuso de sustancias). Pero ese es el nombre legal del programa y pienso que es mejor dejarlo con la sigla original.
Otra sugerencia :)

disagree  JoseAlejandro: Why not just "programa judicial" instead of all those words? And, sorry, but it's not really about "abuso de sustancias".

Observation: Here I think it is important to clarify whether it is a programme geared towards "rehabilitation" or "education". The asker's text will determine this, although I recognize that with DUI, the term is closely intertwined.

disagree  JoseAlejandro: Why so flippant and defensive? "Corte" and "influencia" are false cognates, are they not? DUI is "driving under the influence"; this isn't about rehab. And, the websites that you cite are simply poor translations. Sorry, but don't get mad.

disagree  Lydia De Jorge: EVERYBODY is always wrong, ALL WEBSITES are always poor translations...Pitiful! DUI=Driving Under the Influence. This can be alcohol or Drugs, so DUI (para conductores ebrios) is incorrect as 'ebrio' only covers alcohol. BTW, I'm also a court-certified!
1 hr
  -> Wow! Have you let out all your frustrations, now? Why do you say "ebrio" only covers alcohol? You don't really say why you disagree. You just seem upset.
disagree  Taña Dalglish: Sorry! http://es.thefreedictionary.com/ebrios. Se aplica a la persona que tiene alteradas sus facultades físicas y mentales por haber ingerido una cantidad excesiva de bebida alcohólica. bebido, borracho (DWI)! Does not cover drugs which is what DUI is
2 hrs
  -> ...so, "conductores ebrios y drogados". What is the problem, or the difference? Why all the attitude? What's a DWI? The proper term in English: Driving under the influence of Alcohol/Drugs.
