Event Details: This workshop is designed for experienced interpreters who have little or no experience of court interpreting or those with some experience but who would like to improve their skills and knowledge. This workshop takes place over two consecutive days and comprises a theoretical component on the first day with Laurie, covering the Australian constitution, separation of powers, the court system and the process of court proceedings, and a more practical component on the second day with Sarina, including interpreting in the court and the role of the interpreter, a moot court plea hearing and panel discussion with the participation of professional barristers in a real court setting. There will also be a follow-up written assignment which can be sent and returned via email. This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to get a true insight into the workings of a real court interpreting situation and be able to learn from experienced court interpreters and barristers. A workshop not to be missed!
