Exceptional Guidance for Sign Language Legal Interpreters June 12, 2007
I have read this book "Sign Language Interpreters in Court: Understanding Best Practices" and gained a great deal of insight into the various roles of court interpreting. It is probably the single best source of information for sign language interpreters working in the legal setting. It covers best practices for privileged communications, proceedings interpreter, table interpreter, and guidance on how to educate the court system on these matters and properly staff a trial. And the best part is that it is written not for spoken-language interpreting, but specifically with Sign Language legal interpreting as it's focal point. I feel that any certified interpreter working in legal settings should read this book, for it will indeed provide much needed guidance for this specialized field of interpreting. I am thankful to Carla Mathers for writing such a book and providing valuable resources for legal interpreters. I certainly enjoyed the book and I know you will too.
