French term

analyse et references

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) police report
This is in the header of every page of a police report. It's mostly left blank (I don't think this means it's not applicable though) but on one page it is filled in as follows:
Analyse: Audition de Monsieur B...
References: Proces-verbal no 0623 du 2 mai 06....

I suppose it is the subject and the context but does anyone know how best to phrase it?

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): writeaway

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.

report and references

French rather tediously uses "analyse" where nothing is being analysed. I think this is simply a report, with "report" appearing on every page

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, report would have been just right if I hadn't already used it in the header, so I went for subject and investigation in the end. Glad to hear that my hunch about "analyse" was right though."

analysis and reference

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems fairly straightforward

I think there is an analysis, in this case of Mr. X's hearing. But again, could be wrong.
Note from asker:
I didn't think it could be that simple, but maybe it is. It just seems to me that nothing is being analysed but I could be wrong.
