Courtroom Basics – webinar series for interpreters!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This webinar series is intended for interpreters holding a certification level of BEI Level III, IV, V, Advanced or Master, with little-to-no court\/legal interpreting experience. [SPOTS ARE LIMITED!]<\/p>\n

In this two-day training, Lara Wagner and Alaina Webb will explain the current need for court interpreters in our community, then go into details about what the basic functions and roles of court interpreters look like. Participants will learn court\/legal terminology and become familiar with basic courtroom procedures. Teaming practices in court\/legal settings will be discussed and competency concerns addressed.<\/p>\n

The current process of applying for the written and performance BEI court certification tests will be covered, along with written test practice questions and performance test examples. Participants will begin learning how to prepare for court\/legal interpreting assignments including what questions to ask, what information is needed, who to talk to, and more.<\/p>\n

Having a portfolio for court assignments is a huge asset for interpreters working in legal settings, so we will discuss how to develop a court portfolio and provide resources for interpreters. Participants will leave with a basic understanding of what it means to be a court interpreter and have a foundation on which they can build the skills necessary to work in legal settings.<\/p>\n

In addition to the workshops, participants will be required to prepare with 2 hours of pre-reading, watching a video, and completing a pre-test (included on registration page). The pre-reading and video are designed to help participants gain a better understanding of the gravity of the responsibilities a court interpreter carries. The workshop is presented in spoken English, and will provide an interactive and safe environment for interpreters to learn and explore new concepts.<\/p>\n
