Court, or Legal Interpretation is a specialist form of consecutive interpretation, intended for appearances in court, to support clients or lawyers during legal consultations, and to help people make the most out of prison visits. It’s a service that requires a deep understanding of the criminal justice system, and an in depth understanding of the legal sector.

It’s a style of interpretation where the legal interpreter carefully considers every two or three sentences spoken by the defendant, prosecutor, lawyer, judge and witnesses, allowing them to carefully translate each point accurately. This enables them to communicate accusations, defences, and the most complex legal circumstances effectively. They specifically designed to help defendants explain their side of the story fully. Legal interpretations are incredibly important for anyone who is either planning to see a lawyer to finalise a business deal, needs to meet someone in prison, or who has been summoned before a court.

Having a legal interpreter empowers you to be confident when you’re agreeing to the terms of contract, or providing a statement. When you’re dealing with something as complicated as property or business law, and even the criminal justice system, it’s always safest to make sure that you understand exactly what’s going on, and your interpreter knows the ins and outs of the system fully
