Interpreting for the Community
Legal Interpreting: Interpreting that is found in all court-related situations. Legal interpreters are placed under oath for all sworn proceedings and are therefore subject to the penalties of perjury – the message provided by the interpreter is to be the exact message spoken by a witness, without any display of emotion or bias.
