Law (general)
in a courthouse
...the police found in a student's locker a hit list of teachers (potential victims). the defendant attorney says:"such a search was direct violation of my client's rights under the 4th amendment" the state attorney replies:"State of Connecticut versus Chandler: states' search of a student property will be allowed in the presence of just cause".
i know the word versus is usually translated as ضد/بحق but i think it is different here. thank you

Depending on the context given by the asker, I suppose "Chandler" is either the county of Chandler or the city of Chandler in the state of Arizona, USA.
As for the word "versus" itself, I think it means "in contrast to" or "when compared with", because the state attorney here is comparing State of Connecticut laws with those of Chandler.
Hope this helps.

: Dea Zax, ضد is correct, but multiple entries are against Kudoz rules.... So, if you are translating the text, you'll put all of them?

Thanks, Mohamed. This is not a multiple entry!. My answer is one entry with different choices or possibilities to choose from.

في هذه الحالة« Chandler » هو المدعي و المحكمة تحاكمه لأنه تعدى على إدارة أو موظف ولاية الكونكتيكوت لهذا أتت الجملة « Connecticut state versus Chandler » ، وتأتي الترجمة على النحو التالي " .....ضد......"
