Video Summary
This training module provides an in-depth overview of the Professional Standards and Ethics for California Court Interpreters. It consists of two parts: ethical considerations specific to ASL interpreters, and strategies for handling challenging ethical situations in court settings. Interpreters must adhere to the Professional Standards and Ethics, as well as the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) codes of conduct, emphasizing the importance of accuracy, confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and maintaining professionalism.<br /><br />Key ethical responsibilities include interpreting verbatim without adding clarifications or embellishments, maintaining a neutral and professional demeanor, and disclosing any potential conflicts of interest. Interpreters should always use appropriate linguistic structures and ensure the original meaning is preserved. They must handle privileged communications confidentially and avoid imparting any bias.<br /><br />Additionally, interpreters should remain informed about evolving language trends and continue their professional development. Collaboration with colleagues and engagement with professional associations are encouraged to foster best practices in interpreting services. Interpreters are expected to inform the court of any errors, seek necessary clarifications, and remain professional and impartial at all times.
