    Wisconsin Lawyer September 1997: Resources for Learning about Court Interpreter Issues

     


    Vol. 70, No. 9, September 1997

    Resources for Learning
    about Court Interpreter Issues

    The Wisconsin Court Interpreters Handbook (1986-87): A Guide for Judges, Lawyers, Interpreters and Citizens explains the practical logistics of how, when and where to request interpreters. The 20-page pamphlet is available from the court administrators in the 10 judicial administrative district offices (see the 1997 Wisconsin Lawyer Directory, page 466).

    The court administrators also keep a list of the interpreters frequently used in their areas. The Director of State Court's Office is updating the handbook. Send any suggestions to Kathleen Murphy, Deputy Director, Office of Court Operations, 110 E. Main St., #315, Madison, WI 53703.

    On Sept. 24-26, Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Richard S. Brown and Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Elsa C. Lamelas will moderate a breakout session during the Annual Judicial Conference to discuss issues surrounding language interpreting, the deaf and the hearing impaired.

    Similar issues are the subject of the Court Interpreting Brainstorming Group, which meets on an ongoing basis. For more information about this informal group, call Gail Richardson at (608) 267-8820.
