A BRAND NEW webinar for all court interpreters!
Newly minted court interpreters routinely swear an oath to abide by a professional code of ethics which seems straightforward, reasonable and almost intuitive. But with some time and experience behind them, they find the rulebook wanting, insufficient, unclear.
We will discuss a collection of real-life dilemmas which have challenged seasoned interpreters, revealing potential internal contradictions between the code and our larger duties as agents of justice and equal access.
We will also explore the conflicts inherent in adhering strictly to any code that is not moral in nature.
This webinar does not intend to prescribe the correct path to follow, but rather to shed light on the ethical difficulties faced, offering a forum for honest discussion.
Instructor: Carlos Radillo is a freelance interpreter based in California. He is both state and federally certified as a court interpreter.
