CODE OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR JUDICIARY INTERPRETERS  

What’s the difference between impartiality and neutrality? How should interpreters treat privileged and other confidential information? Can interpreters sight translate a document for the record? What does conflict of interest really mean? The speakers will discuss these and other issues they encountered while rewriting the code of conduct for court interpreters in Washington State.

TRANSCRIPTION

So, you’ve been asked to do a transcription…

A brief breakdown of questions to ask, decisions to make, and steps to take!

Join us to talk about the art of transcription and interpretation.  Learn the national guidelines and the theory behind this type of forensic work.

If an attorney calls asking for information or an estimate for a transcription project, where do you begin? How do you know how long it will take, how much it will cost, whether you are up to the challenge?

What happens if someone challenges your work or you receive a subpoena? 

With this presentation, we hope to set forth some suggestions and guidelines for analyzing all of the above—and more!
