court interpreter
Courtroom language bridge
A court interpreter translates spoken language in legal proceedings, enabling communication between the court and participants who don't speak the court's language.
Court interpreters work in real time during hearings, trials, and depositions, translating testimony, questions, and rulings.
The role requires fluency in legal terminology and strict accuracy, since mistranslation can affect case outcomes.
