The term COURT ATTENTION-GETTER is composed of two crossword solutions, OYEZ and GAVEL. OYEZ is a traditional cry used in English courts of law to attract attention before a court session begins. It is derived from the Latin word 'audite, ' which means 'hear ye.' The GAVEL is a tool used by judges to maintain order in the courtroom. It is usually made of wood and is banged on the desk to signal the start and end of a court session.
