Rita Dennis
Like Dorothy and Toto, interpreters facing the legal system can feel like they have landed in a strange and wondrous land. Who are all these people? What is this odd language they speak?
This 2-part seminar is designed to help the new arrival along the winding path of the "Legal Yellow Brick Road." Learn such things as:
· The difference between Civil and Criminal systems
· Roles of the various court personnel
· The process of a Criminal case from arrest through trial
· Courtroom protocol for the interpreter
· RID Code of Ethics and the Legal system
