Spanish term or phrase: estará a derecho como efecto
This is from the Bolivian Code of Civil Procedure:

Admitida la demanda, se citará a la parte demandada para que la conteste u oponga excepciones en plazo legal o se la emplazará para que comparezca cuando así determine la autoridad judicial, **estará a derecho como efecto** de la citación o emplazamiento y será notificada con los actos y resoluciones que se señalaren en este Código

English translation:/is to/ enter an appearance as a result of
Explanation:
In a civil case (Bolivian Code of Civil Procedure), Ana B's 'entry of appearance' in Toni C's weblink - and that l ventured recently on ProZ - has a technical meaning of 'filing a defenc/se' and seems more fitting and natural than 'turning up to court'.

estar a derecho
appear in court, appear before the judge


Explanation:
Técnicamente, la frase de la pregunta debe ser simplemente "estar a derecho", es decir en forma de diccionario, en infinitivo (sin conjugación) y el "como efecto" está de sobra.
---------------------------------------------

estar a derecho. España (Derecho Procesal). To appear in court, to appear before the judge = concurrir/comparecer ante el juez

Example sentence(s):
  • Enter an appearance is a term which simply means you intend to defend the case. When a person has been served with a summons, the first step to defending the summons is to enter an appearance.
  • USA: "Entry of Appearance" is either a *written or an oral assertion* by a lawyer that he or she is representing a party in a case. In criminal law an entry is most often filed on behalf of a defendant.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Toni Castano: "Enter an appearance", previously posted by Adrian, is also correct. ProZ.com should take duly note of such terrible "disagrees" posted and based on personal animosity rather than on strict linguistic principles (and knowledge). Very worrying...!
