Video Summary
The "Judicial Council of California Court Interpreters Program Ethics Refresher Training" aims to reinforce the role and ethical standards of court interpreters. Serving as neutral communication conduits, interpreters ensure Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals can effectively participate in legal proceedings. They must interpret everything spoken, maintain neutrality, and refrain from explaining or offering legal advice. Ethical dilemmas, such as requests not to interpret certain statements or witnessing contradictory testimony, should be managed by maintaining professionalism, consulting judges when needed, and conducting pre-appearance interviews to set ground rules. This comprehensive training includes modules on accuracy, impartiality, confidentiality, and professionalism, featuring mock scenarios for practical application of these standards.
