<p><br /> The Legal Education Institute on Widener University&rsquo;s Delaware campus will present two seminars for court interpreters that are designed to improve the skills and accuracy of these important service providers.<br /><br />The Accurate and Ethical Interpretation Seminar will be broken into two weekend sessions:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">April 26 and 27</span> <br />For Spanish-English interpreters<br />Held in room L126 of the main law building</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">May 3 and 4 <br /></span>Language-neutral session<br />Held in the campus Barristers&rsquo; Club</li>
</ul>
<p>The seminars are designed to help current court interpreters strengthen their consecutive interpreting techniques and further develop their skills. The sessions will also address critical ethical issues in the courtroom. Faculty will introduce the consecutive interpretation concept and discuss its rationale and required expertise. Participants will practice their skills in both small and large groups to improve their technique, vocabulary and legal terminology. <br /><br />This marks the first time the school has presented a program for court interpreters. <br /><br />Faculty for the seminar includes Maria M. Perez-Chambers, a federal- and state-court certified interpreter in Spanish, and Nancy Schweda Nicholson, a professor of linguistics, cognitive science and legal studies at the University of Delaware.<br /><br />Tuition for either seminar i<span style="font-weight: bold;">s $249.</span> The Saturday sessions run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and the Sunday sessions begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 12:15 p.m. Continental breakfast and lunch are included for the Saturday portion of the seminars.
