Navigating Jury Duty
Virtual Workshop
December 7, 2024

Workshop Description:
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.
