About This Course
Interpretation is an art not a science. That's why obtaining testimony is very often like an under-educated laborer from another universe describing the truth to an artist who then must describe it to an engineer. As an attorney even if you are a native speaker of the language of the witness a lot can get lost in the translation.
This course will explain many of the pitfalls and limitations of interpretation throughout our judicial system and then illuminate some of the most common issues and discuss strategies to deal with them.
