Oyez

[From Wikipedia: "Oyez (/ˈoʊjeɪ/) is a traditional interjection said three times in succession to introduce the opening of a court of law in the United States.... "Oyez" descends from the Anglo-Norman oyez, the plural imperative form of oyer, from French ouïr, "to hear"; thus oyez means "hear ye" and was used as a call for silence and attention. It would have been common in medieval England. The term is still in use by the Supreme Court of the United States."]
