To-MAY-to, To-MAH-to: State Laws, State Lingo, and the Interpreter's Dilemma
Live Online Monthly Webinar
Webinar Description
Laws differ from state to state and that can affect the terminology interpreters use in and out of the courtroom. It is even more critical in a post-Covid-19 world where many interpreters work remotely across multiple states and jurisdictions. This webinar will examine why it is important to know the elements of criminal charges in the state(s) where you work, similarities and differences of common criminal charges from state-to-state, and proposed solutions to the terminology dilemma.
Don't let state-specific terminology catch you off guard! Join this webinar to gain essential insights into how laws impact legal language and learn strategies to navigate the challenges of interpreting across multiple jurisdictions. Register now and enhance your accuracy and confidence in any courtroom!
