Let us consider (the arguments)
Explanation:
Judges quite often use the expression "let us consider" in their judgments. I think it could stand alone, or you could add "the arguments" or some other noun that fits the context.

Here's an example in an appellate judgment from Illinois:

"¶ 101 Petitioner would answer yes. Let us consider her arguments, one by one.
¶ 102 First, she argues that, before Public Act 97-941, trial courts could, on their own initiative, find a dissipation of marital assets. [...]"

  -> Thanks, Robert. Yes, probably, or perhaps something like "the issues", which would be more neutral. The final decision on that is best taken with the whole context before us.

To wit


Explanation:
"To wit" is used to indicate that you are about to state or describe something more precisely.

(I know I'm up against the might CD, but nil desperandum)
