Focusing on the role of court interpreters, this book analyzes over a hundred hours of recorded bilingual court proceedings, revealing their significant influence on trial outcomes. It challenges the belief that interpreters are neutral facilitators, showing they can sway verdicts. The updated edition expands on various interpreting contexts, such as small claims and remote interpreting, while addressing trends in certification and cross-cultural issues. With a new preface, it emphasizes the ongoing necessity for critical examination of interpreting practices in a diverse society.
