Md. R. CCCI , Canon 11
HISTORICAL NOTES
2007 Orders
The May 8, 2007, order deleted the commentary and rewrote the rule which previously read:
After notice and an opportunity for a hearing, the Administrative Office of the Courts may discipline an interpreter, by actions such as public or private reprimand or suspension or removal from a list of court interpreters, for inadequate performance or other good cause.
Commentary
The following are examples of good cause for disciplining an interpreter:
Knowingly making false interpretation while serving in an official capacity;
Knowingly disclosing confidential or privileged information obtained while serving in an official capacity;
Failing to follow the standards prescribed by law and the ethics of the interpreter profession."
