Event Details
This workshop is specifically designed to equip interpreters to navigate the various aspects of interpreting jury duty. We will discuss topics such as: the Voir Dire process during jury selection, the significance of courtroom positioning and how it affects the interpreter’s visibility and access to both the deaf client and the legal proceedings, how to handle sidebars, the deliberation process and the interpreter’s role during this critical phase, and the intricacies of interpreting the instructions to the jury. You will learn techniques for conveying precise language, maintaining the appropriate tone, and handling challenging legal terminology.
Educational Objectives:
– Identify 2-3 of the essential elements of the instructions given to the jury
– Identify and weigh the value of multiple (3-5) specific/general concepts and how to develop and customize their interpretation to match the needs of the deaf client
– Examine the multi step process of interpreting the voir dire and determine the number of steps you (as the interpreter) will need to render an accurate interpretation
ASLIS virtual workshops are NOT recorded for later viewing.
