What We’ve Got Here Is a Failure to Communicate: Pitfalls and Best Practices for Handling Asian Language Witnesses and Evidence

Join Ronald Cheng for a panel discussion on the issues surrounding interpretation and translation, especially when Asian languages are involved. Issues include understanding the features of Asian languages and dialects that may affect interpretation, preparation to ensure that a court or jury properly understands what the witness says or what a document conveys, and how to ensure that a foreign-language witness understands the questions being asked and the purpose of the testimony. The panel includes judges who have seen these issues firsthand, practitioners who have developed strategies to handle these issues and interpretation professionals who deal with witnesses and documents firsthand.
