Court Room Interpreter

On November 2nd, we published an article regarding interpreting problems highlighted by the New Zealand Supreme Court.  Quite recently, we came across an ABC radio program regarding using court room interpreters.

This program discusses many of the same issues that were addressed by the New Zealand Supreme court, as well as others such as perception of interpreters as well as working conditions for Interpreters in Australian courts.

It is a very interesting program, and we think you might gain some insight into using court room interpreters. You can find the audio program here: http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/2011/12/lrt_20111206_0830.mp3
