Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Edith Kelly, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I think you are right in general. However there may be places where it is the judge herself/himself who calls out the case.
---

When you appear in court, a judge will call out your case name. Listen closely for it. Stand up. Let the judge know you are there. Go to the front of the courtroom. The judge will put you under oath.

@mike I don't think that it's someone as elevated as the judge who does the calling.

Calling the case When it is time for your case to be heard by the court, the clerk or judge will call out the name of the case and the hearing will start.
If you are representing yourself, you will have to go to the front of the court when your case is called.
If a lawyer is representing you they will step forward when your case is called.

Selected

When it is announced that your case is the next one to be heard

This is about the people hanging around outside the courtroom being told which is the next case that the court is ready to hear.
