The regulations or proposals established by this Certification Board, which functions as a dependency of the Supreme Court of Florida are taken very much as suggestions by the Judges and not as a rule.
Instead, what we have in the U.S. is the wild west of translation. I am not saying this disparagingly, on the contrary, I love this lack of regulation.
Telephonic interpreters are to be avoided at all costs for depositions, hearings, trials or any proceeding where there is important information being conveyed and recorded. Use telephonic on-demand interpreters for informal meetings.
Green screen and Zoom headsets for lawyers. ***You can also see the matching YouTube video for this post.*** This article will be divided into 2 sections:
When booking the interpreter, you should provide the agency the estimated MAXIMUM time the depo may last, instead of giving them to most likely estimate.
It’s actually a sign of a good interpreter to have a dictionary. Generally speaking, interpreters are doing research, even when they’re working as a team.
When using non-certified interpreters, it may be worthwhile, however, to mention the confidentiality requirement before the beginning of the meeting.
If the interpreter is either state or federal court certified, I wouldn’t ask anything else. The certification itself means they have passed a written and oral exam and have been deemed admissible.
Notice this can only be used for hearings and trials where the person will be listening to an interpreter translating in simultaneous mode. We may not use this device when we are interpreting for a witness on the stand or in depositions.
It is best to make believe the person speaks English and speak to the witness directly as you would speak with an English speaking witness.
…this is a disaster waiting to happen and can already see the disputes that will arise from all the unhappy litigants alleging they did not understand important parts of the proceedings and that it, hence, affected their decision-making abilities and testimony.
In a deposition, you have to take turns to speak. You have to do this anyway because you have the court reporter…You cannot do an entire hearing in consecutive mode, it would take forever. Some judges have been deciding to only interpret for the witness whenever they’re going to testify
