Description

We will be offering two different sessions for this legal interpreting training! 9 am - 12 pm - Staffing Legal Cases Are you interested in legal interpreting but don't know where to start? Are you an assignment coordinator but not sure who and how many interpreters to send to court? Join this workshop. Anna will introduce the roles and responsibilities of the proceedings interpreter vs. interpreter for counsel vs. investigative interpreter. It is vital that any interpreter planning on taking legal assignments is well versed in these concepts in order to follow best practices in legal interpreting that have been set nationally. Assignment coordinators will be given some group work to make the day relevant to all. Interpreters curious about legal interpreting, new to legal interpreting, responsible for scheduling legal interpreters...this workshop is perfect for you! 1 pm - 4 pm - The Arraignment Process The arraignment is the most common legal proceeding you will encounter as a legal interpreter. Arraignment quite often means interpreting the Guilty Plea Litany – a highly complex linguistic hurtle for Deaf litigants. Interpreters planning to do legal work must have a strong understanding of the Guilty Plea Litany and have many strategies to customize their interpretation to best suit each client. In this workshop we will learn procedural steps of an arraignment with emphasis on the Guilty Plea Litany. Participants will begin text analysis of the Guilty Plea Litany and work in groups to practice interpreting each element. Register to attend one session or both sessions. Only those that register for both sessions will be provided lunch from 12 pm - 1 pm. This workshop will be presented in spoken English with ASL interpreters.
