Visual Interpretations of the Miranda Warning
Ben Hall, SC:L, NIC, C.S.C.
This “road show” will analyze and review various examples of
conceptually accurate interpretations of the Miranda Warning. The
training will review the historic development of Miranda v. Arizona,
ramifications of the Supreme Court decision, and other subsequent
relevant decisions. Commercially available videos will be analyzed and
strategies to incorporate elements into one’s work will be
discussed. The training also considers textual density of the Miranda
Warning and ways to incorporate some of the complex concepts into the
interpretation. The workshop format includes: video analysis, lecture,
group discussions/activities, group/team work, and feedback processes.
As an outcome, participants will demonstrate an understanding of and
be able to produce different interpretations of the Miranda Warning.
BEI and RID CEUs will be offered. This training is intended for
interpreters who have a grasp of interpreting in legal setting and
have an understanding of legal terminology.
