French term (edited): convoquer par émargement
Selected

see explanation

This is normally "convoqué contre émargement", i.e. the summoned party is not given notice to appear by registered letter/acte d'huissier, but simply verbally, and as proof that the summons has been lawfully given, they sign the convocation, a copy of which is returned to them, while the original is filed with the court.

I'm not sure how you would translate this. "Lawfully summon(s)ed as proven by [the party's] signature", perhaps?

Er...thanks.
agree Abdellatif Bouhid : 'duly summoned' would cover all manners of being summoned. 'On own recognizance' would be the closest to 'contre signature' but wouldn't apply to a lawyer.

I like 'on own recognizance'.
