references for “trabar”
I hope it is not so late.
As Rocío says, the meaning of “trabar litis” is “to bring legal action/ to institute legal proceedings”.
It is clear that “litis” (also “lis”) means: lis litis, f. a legal controversy, action, suit; in gen., contention, strife, quarrel http://www.bible-history.com/latin/latin_l.html) [Other references: http://www.google.com/custom?q=lis litis litigious action su...]
The sense of the verb “trabar” meaning “emprender o comenzar” is not very common; instead, the verb “entablar” is used. You can find this meaning in:
CLAVE – Diccionario de Uso del Español Actual [ISBN 84-348-6510-6] and
DRAE: 7. tr. Emprender o comenzar una batalla, una contienda, una disputa, una conversación, etc. [http://www.rae.es/ ]

: "join an issue" hace referencia a la admisión de un hecho controvertido (issue). Es en ese sentido que está usado en el enlace de findlaw en el recurso de apelación. Trabar litis (juicio) es iniciar/ presentar/ interponer una demanda, un juicio.
