Enhancing Court Outcomes Through Effective Interpreter Preparation

Thursday August 27, 2026 3:45pm - 4:45pm PDT

Embassy Suites- Mirabella D

In this session, Genna and Richard look at how interpreter preparation affects communication in legal proceedings. Interpreters act as the voice of both the limited English proficient (LEP) individual and the court, so their performance directly impacts due process. Despite this, interpreters often receive little to no information before key events such as depositions and hearings. This session explores how providing interpreters with relevant information in advance and allowing time for preparation can lead to smoother proceedings and better outcomes. Participants will leave with practical strategies for scheduling and working with interpreters to support high-quality language access services.
