Video Summary
This training module for ASL interpreters working in California courts emphasizes the importance of understanding legal terminology and developing a personal legal glossary. Interpreters need to familiarize themselves with legal "terms of art" and courtroom phrases that carry specific meanings. The module highlights the importance of context in accurate interpretation, provides examples of critical legal terms, and explains how interpreters can avoid inaccurate translations. It also offers suggestions for building a legal glossary using resources such as the California Judicial Council’s glossaries and Project CLIMB’s Legal Terminology Dictionary. Continuous learning and professional development are stressed, advocating for observing court sessions, collaborating with peers, and utilizing various educational resources to enhance interpreting skills.
