Understanding Best Practices

This is the first comprehensive text that examines the role and function of sign language interpreters working the legal field. Designed for interpreters looking for a principled basis to justify best and emerging practices, the book presents a critical analysis of the constitutional, statutory and ethical foundations underpinning the work of court interpreters.

Sign Language Interpreters in Court offers readers the tools for understanding, applying and articulating the various roles and functions undertaken by interpreters in court. [Carla Mathers; (2006) 279 pages; soft cover]
