| Abstract | A discussion of the role of court interpreters looks at the need for competent interpreters, the kinds and demands of court interpretation, and New Jersey's leadership in recognizing the necessity for court interpretation. Demographic and legal reasons for providing interpreters in today's courts are outlined. Three court interpreting functions (simultaneous, consecutive, and summary) are described, and the skill demands they make on the interpreters are noted. General skills needed for cross-cultural interpretation are also analyzed. The initiative taken by New Jersey's judicial system to develop a training and certification system is described. General lack of monitoring of the profession is blamed in part for the haphazard way in which the profession has developed. Information about the deficiencies in court interpreter qualifications and performance drawn from New Jersey's task force research are discussed. Other aspects of court interpreting considered include: (1) the employment patterns, compensation, and other duties of interpreters, including clerical work and language-family interpretation; (2) the source of the decision to hire an interpreter; and (3) the conditions under which this decision is made.
