Interpreting in legal settings requires more than language fluency—it demands a solid understanding of the law itself. Interpreters must balance communication access with legal boundaries. This workshop unpacks three critical legal concepts every interpreter must navigate: legal foundation, privileged communication and hearsay. Participants will learn how these rules shape courtroom discourse, explore real-world scenarios, and develop strategies for maintaining accuracy, impartiality, and professionalism in complex legal environments.

Educational interpreters working in the K-12 setting are consistently tasked with assessing and interpreting for situations that are inherently legal. It can be difficult to pinpoint when a K-12 interpreter has the commensurate skills combined with ethical decision making in these legal situations.  This workshop will explore the ethics of various situations, connect those decisions to the RID CPC and NAIE Code of Ethics, examine linguistic options and analyze case scenarios in small group discussions.

This workshop is designed to prepare interpreters to interpret in contexts involving all forms of abuse including sexual and/or domestic violence. While language plays a role in this workshop, it is more specifically focused on the dynamics related to trauma-informed interpreting. A trauma-informed practitioner assumes that a person has experienced trauma and takes measures to prevent further harm.
