Book Description
“An essential text” that examines how interpreters can influence a courtroom, updated and expanded to cover contemporary issues in our diversifying society (Criminal Justice). Susan Berk-Seligson’s groundbreaking book presents a systematic study of court interpreters that raises some alarming and vitally important concerns. Contrary to the assumption that interpreters do not affect the dynamics of court proceedings, Berk-Seligson shows that interpreters could potentially make the difference between a defendant being found guilty or not guilty. The Bilingual Courtroom draws on more than one hundred hours of audio recordings of Spanish/English court proceedings in federal, state, and municipal courts, along with a number of psycholinguistic experiments involving mock juror reactions to interpreted testimony. This second edition includes an updated review of relevant research and provides new insights into interpreting in quasi-judicial, informal, and specialized judicial settings, such as small claims court, jails, and prisons. It also explores remote interpreting (for example, by telephone), interpreter training and certification, international trials and tribunals, and other cross-cultural issues. With a new preface by Berk-Seligson, this second edition not only highlights the impact of the previous versions of The Bilingual Courtroom, but also draws attention to the continued need for critical study of interpreting in our ever diversifying society.

Book Description
An Introduction to Court Interpreting: Theory and Practice by Professor Elena M. de Jongh presents a comprehensive treatment of the principal issues pertaining to court interpreting in the United States. Its principal objective is the dissemination of information that will contribute to the preparation of court interpreters. The book is divided into two principal sections: theory and practice, structured as two independent units that complement one another and allow for maximum flexibility in the use of the text. Part I provides a synthesis of information regarding court interpreting. The approach is interdisciplinary, dealing with languages in contact, the interpreting process, bilingualism, dialectal varieties of language, and legal issues. Part II contains authentic materials taken from legal cases and adapted for the practice of the various modes of interpretation used in court: sight translation, consecutive, and simultaneous interpretation. Although Spanish/English interpretation is emphasized, the general concepts presented are applicable to other languages. Specifically designed for use in courses on court interpreting, the book is easily adapted to other interpretation courses, and is a valuable reference for professional interpreters. The author, an expert in the field of court interpreting, combines scholarly material with authentic texts derived from her own research and classroom experience teaching Spanish and court interpreting and from her work in the courts as a federally certified court interpreter since 1985. An Introduction to Court Interpreting: Theory and Practice is an excellent resource for all persons interested in court interpreting and in issues regarding language and the law.

Book Description
The Practice of Court Interpreting describes how the interpreter works in the court room and other legal settings. The book discusses what is involved in court interpreting: case preparation, ethics and procedure, the creation and avoidance of error, translation and legal documents, tape transcription and translation, testifying as an expert witness, and continuing education outside the classroom. The purpose of the book is to provide the interpreter with a map of the terrain and to suggest methods that will help insure an accurate result. The author, herself a practicing court interpreter, says: The structure of the book follows the structure of the work as we do it. The book is intended as a basic course book, as background reading for practicing court interpreters and for court officials who deal with interpreters.

Book Description
內容簡介 美國國會於1978年通過「法院口譯員法」，據此，聯邦法院建立了法院口譯員制度，隨後，法院口譯以三個面向邁向制度化與專業化。(1)美國各州州法院次第跟進建制。(2)建立法院口譯員認證與考試制度。(3)法院口譯的研究逐漸受到重視，成為法學、語言學、翻譯學的跨領域課題。美國庭審採陪審團制，口譯的良窳是否會影響或誤導陪審員對被告控罪的判定，更是社會心理學研究的新焦點。 作者獲美國國家科學基金會(U.S. National Science Foundation)獎助，進行大規模長達七個月的田野調查，選定數家法院，將有口譯的庭審錄音後製作雙語謄錄稿，比對外語(西班牙語)證詞與英語互譯，歸納出常見口譯落差，再以模擬陪審團，進行語言心理學實驗，探討口譯落差有無影響聽者(陪審員)對說話者的印象及影響程度。本書1990年的一版與2002年的增訂版都在法界與語用學界享有極佳口碑。作者獲悉將有中文譯本後，於2017年大幅擴增為二版，放眼全球各地司法口譯機制與口譯在警訊或庇護聽審的現狀。 譯者為加州法院認證口譯員、台灣高等法院通譯，將此一經典譯成中文，應可為國內學界(應用英語系、翻譯系、法律系等)與實務界(司法、律師)帶來新的觀點。
