Right or Wrong: Making Decisions in Legal Interpreting Work

This workshop will explore ethical decision making pertaining to legal and courtroom settings. We will discuss how and what makes legal interpreting unique yet applicable to other genres of interpreting. Legal documents such as the guilty plea, the Miranda Warning, and others will be analyzed for interpreting implications. Additionally, participants will explore legal case studies, analyze the Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, and participate in small group discussions. Prior legal training is helpful but not required. Presentation will be conducted in English.
