Its an old phrase which originated with the british Courts, and the expression goes all the way back when the King himself held court.
may oit please the court is an expression of courtly manner, indicating that the argument or averement , or petition is about to begin. it is especially appropriate in application before a High Court for an extraordinary writ, of Mandamus or Certiorari, which are not granted as a matter of right, but as a remedy of privilege from the Court.
“May it please the court,” is an opening indicating that the case is about to begin.
