Encompassing the entire scope of the court interpreting profession, Introduction to Court Interpreting is the first course book for court interpreter training that is not orientated toward the judicial system of a particular country, but can be used in any country for training interpreters in any language combination. This second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest research on theory and practice and different pedagogical approaches in the field. Starting with the history of the current practice of court interpreting both inside and outside of the courtroom, a further nine chapters cover the key topics from comparative law ethics and standards of practice, to professional and job market issues. Extensive practical exercises and suggestions for further reading are included with each chapter. New sections on remote interpreting and police interpreting, as well as new role-playing scenarios (e.g. the Postville case of 2008), help to ensure that this remains the essential introductory textbook for all those working in the areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies. It will also be of interest to students and practitioners of law. --
