                                    Courts, including administrative tribunals, encounter parties who are not fluent in the English language with increasing frequency, requiring translators to interpret proceedings. Following this session, participants should be able to: (1) Recognize common concerns and develop solutions to issues when using an interpreter; (2) Define best practices when using interpreters live, telephonically, or on video platforms; and (3) Compile a bench-book of tools, including scripts and checklists, to facilitate the use of interpreters in hearings.
