About this course
This advanced course is designed to further improve interpretation skills, accuracy and speed, as applied to legal settings. All modes of interpretation are reviewed, but special emphasis is made on simultaneous interpreting. Legal concepts and terminology related to court proceedings and criminology will be reviewed and expanded, accompanied by in-depth discussions of social and linguistic justice in the legal system. The pace of interpreting will be faster and the exercises and assignments in this course contain more complex legal terminology. The training is hands-on with actual court documents, transcripts and sample recordings for practice, as well as sample court interpreter certification exams.
