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.

Con respecto a tu pregunta, no sé de quién sean las últimas iniciales, pero no creo que sea importante saberlo. Es una referencia interna como cuando se colocan al final de una carta oficial. Así pueden saber a quién consultar en caso de alguna duda o error
| Entonces, le ponen esas iniciales del Juez, del Secretario, y las démas? Uds. dirían que las últimas dicen algo que le importa al Juzgado, o sea, como un numero de referencia? |

Cristina Zavala
: Sí, porque suelen poner esas iniciales, y también del secretario que preparó el documento.

Discussion
Secondly, regarding initials on legal documents being at the foot (specific mention of when accompanied by notarial statements), and it is something I don't know (I have not researched it, and don't intend to now! LOL), and I am just "musing" here that this may not always be the case, i.e. your observation that "you would have expected them at the top of the page", as there "may be" country, province, or even regional differences! I honestly cannot tell you if there is a "universal" format where these types of documents are concerned. Anyway, regards and keep safe!
I would be accustomed to seeing initials on business contracts, but from the parties to the contract. In a legal document, I would be accustomed to bates numbers, perhaps. I think I was also thrown off because the whole project has several documents and they do not all contain this annotation at the bottom of the page, only the on these "notary" statements. My thought process was just not in the right vein, I think. I was not thinking along the lines of this being the initals of the Judge, Secretary and the typist. I would be more accustomed to seeing them at the top of the page and not the bottom.
But, it is good to learn something new. Now, maybe the next question I ask won't seem so silly.
Another example: "While you might not have to initial each page of a contract when you first create it, there may be instances where you need to initial one or more pages later on. Often, initials are a way to acknowledge a small change in a contract after it has been signed to show that both parties agree to the amendment." I don't mean to come across as condescending, so if you are offended, apologies. Regards.
CYT/ja/dp. are initials of responsible persons. Your question: "¿Uds. dirían que las últimas dicen algo que le importa al Juzgado, o sea, como un numero de referencia?" https://bizfluent.com/info-8211260-reference-initials-writin... (while from a legal standpoint, the purpose may be different or expanded, "Purpose
Reference initials are used as a way of recording who wrote signed and typed a document. These initials offer a way for businesses to investigate issues regarding letters that a company sent. If a misunderstanding occurs within a letter, the reader may discover that the person writing the letter was different from the person who signed it; the writer may have missed important elements the signer of the letter wanted in the document."
