Some articles by
Holly Mikkelson:
Verbatim Interpretation: an OxymoronThis article analyses current legal standards for
court interpretation and current theories of interpretation, and propose solutions to the existing conflict between modern oral translation tendencies and conservative legal world.
Besides the review of the Western ideas on word-for-word translation, I found the "Practical Implications for the Interpreter" chapter extremely interesting as well where it is said about
real interaction between a court interpreter on one side a
nd the judge and jury on the other.
