In order to become a good court interpreter, one must have an adequate legal background to understand legal terminology and processes, and one must also have outstanding interpretation skills in order to maintain accurate, well-paced renderings during live court proceedings. The courses outlined in this program provides the perfect combination of these needs for a court interpreter in training. That is why I want to attend the Court Interpreter Program at Widener University Delaware Law School.","179":"After I complete the Court Interpreter Certificate Program, I would like to complete state certification for Court Interpreters with hopes of passing all components of the state certification exam so I may become a certified Mandarin Court Interpreter in PA. I hope that state certification will lend way to helping me find a full-time court interpreter position in the Philadelphia courts, if available. If not, I hope to continue to work as a freelancing court interpreter in the Tri-state region. Eventually, I would like to pursue federal certification for court interpreters to further my experience and expertise as a court interpreter.","180":"I plan to utilize the Court Interpreter Certificate Program in expanding my knowledge of legal terminology and processes and enhance my  simultaneous interpretation skills. I believe the formal class setting will encourage me to study at better, more organized pace. It will also allow me to exchange and share knowledge will my peers and professors, further enhancing my knowledge and experience in the field. The extensive resources provided by the program, including Widener's Law Library and the new Language Lab, will also help me in my training to become a certified Court Interpreter. And, the amazing flexibility of the program will help me balance my personal life as a new mom with my professional life as a court interpreter in training.","181":"Nanme Zheng"}
