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."
