Comment to Canon 6

Generally, an interpreter should not discuss interpreter assignments with anyone other than persons who have a formal duty associated with the case. For purposes of interpreter education and training, however, an interpreter may share information only about cases in which a final judgment has been entered and may divulge only as much information as is required to accomplish this purpose. Unless so ordered by a court or permitted under Canon 5, an interpreter must never reveal privileged or confidential information for any purpose, including training and education.
