Law and Justice

This week's topic is Law and Justice. There is currently a debate in our country about the proposed changes to the Australian Racial Discrimination Act. This video of Senator Penny Wong is a very good  one to practise your note-taking and consecutive interpreting skills.



You can also check this previous post on Law and Order where you will find a slide show with the recording of a police officer explaining  the process of an arrest.

This post on Court Interpreting  will give you some background on the latest developments in legal interpreting studies in Australia as well as a sobering look at the situation of legal interpreting in Spain.

Check the video on this other post on Court Interpreting from Vancouver Community College on Ethical Challenges for Court Interpreters. You can use it for consecutive and note-taking practice .

Finally here is a post with links and resources related to the topics of Law, Police and Justice. Please feel free to send me any interesting materials that you think I could add to this list.
