A Day in the life of a Legal Interpreter

The day to day life of a Legal Interpreter is filled with many challenges, and can be quite stressful, given that the majority of the work is done on the fly, in a live situation. You can’t rewind a live conversation or statement! Courts are required, by law, to appoint Legal Interpreters whereby a defendant, witness or otherwise, is unable to communicate with the rest of the court, either by language barrier, or handicap, such as deafness.
