Looking up for more options...

I´m trying to find as many equivalent options in English of the phrase in Spanish: "Sr. Presidente, tomo la palabra" o "Sr. Presidente, haré uso de la palabra" in a Court environment.
I already have: 1. I rise today, Mr Speaker...
2. I take the floor...

Any other options?
Thanks for your help!:o

Not really sure what you're doing, if you're trying to get a couple of words in then it would be: "Mr. President, if I may..."
