Virtual Workshops
December 7th 9am - 12pm CT & 2pm - 5pm CT
TOTAL 0.6 PS CEUs
“Navigating Jury Duty” Description:
9am - 12pm CENTRAL TIME
This workshop is specifically designed to equip interpreters to navigate the various aspects of interpreting jury duty. We will discuss topics such as: the Voir Dire process during jury selection, the significance of courtroom positioning and how it affects the interpreter's visibility and access to both the deaf client and the legal proceedings, how to handle sidebars, the deliberation process and the interpreter's role during this critical phase, and the intricacies of interpreting the instructions to the jury. You will learn techniques for conveying precise language, maintaining the appropriate tone, and handling challenging legal terminology.
“Transforming Understanding of the Miranda Warning” Description:
2pm - 5pm CENTRAL TIME
We are all familiar with the Miranda Warning. We’ve seen it issued on countless TV shows and movies, but do we really understand it? The concepts can seem simple on the surface, but do we understand them on a deep enough level to produce an ASL equivalent that affords Deaf people the opportunity to knowingly exercise or waive their rights?
This workshop will break down the principles of the Miranda Warning in a methodical way that will leave participants with options on how to interpret the Miranda Warning depending on the client. Additional topics to be discussed: When does the Miranda Warning have to be given, when can the police question someone without Mirandizing them, what are best practices when staffing assignments involving the police and what are the risks of interpreting for the police.
