Interpreting Torts
Live Online Monthly Webinar
Webinar Description
[Legal]
A slip-and-fall. A dog bite. A car accident. A construction job gone wrong. All of these situations are very different, but they all have one thing in common: someone probably committed a tort, and someone else is probably suing for damages as a result. In this two-hour workshop, you’ll get a taste of what a first-year law student learns about torts, but with the interpreter in mind. We’ll define specific terminology, including (and especially) words that might be counterintuitive. We’ll also look at the elements of a tort case that the plaintiff must prove (duty, breach, causation, and damages), and how a court evaluates each one. Finally, we'll talk about how torts lawsuits might be categorized in a typical court system, and how they might be treated procedurally.
Gain clarity on tort terminology and procedures to improve accuracy and confidence in civil case interpreting. Register today.
Key Takeaways:
-
Interpreters will learn the basic elements of a tort
-
Interpreters will learn about some common types of torts and unusual terminology that they may encounter
-
Interpreters will learn relevant basic aspects of civil procedure affecting tort claims
