COMMENTARY

Sworn proceedings interpreters should continually strive to increase their knowledge of the languages they work in professionally, including past and current trends in technical, vernacular, and regional terminology as well as their application within court proceedings.

Sworn proceedings interpreters should keep informed of all statutes, rules of courts, and policies of the judiciary that relate to the performance of their professional duties.

A sworn proceedings interpreter should seek to elevate the standards of the profession through participation in workshops, professional meetings, interaction with colleagues, and reading current literature in the field.
