Course description

This course focusses on specialised translation and interpreting in legal and related fields. Students will be trained to develop specialised knowledge and skills for legal translation and interpreting, including legal textual conventions and the language of law. Since knowledge of the subject matter is vital in order to produce quality interpretations and translations, students will gain a necessary understanding of key legal concepts and how the judicial system works. Interpreting skills will be further consolidated for consecutive and simultaneous interpreting in legal settings.
