Resources: Trial Transcripts

Toolkit for Legal Interpreters

Resources: Trial Transcripts

A variety of trial transcripts are presented. Reviewing and practicing the lines of questioning found in the transcripts can assist in the interpretation of direct and cross examination both of which are essential parts of court interpreting and working in legal settings.

Interpreting of Lines of Legal Questioning and Message Coherence Within Lines of Questioning offer two skill development activity guides to improve the production and coherence of lines of legal questioning during an interpretation.

Sheneman provides an ASL overview of this resource section and how it can be used.
