Canon 2. Representation of Qualifications
Interpreters shall accurately and completely represent their certifications, training, and pertinent experience.
Commentary
Acceptance of a case by an interpreter conveys linguistic and interpreting competency in legal settings. Withdrawing or being asked to withdraw from a case after it begins causes a disruption of court proceedings and is wasteful of scarce public resources. It is therefore essential that, prior to appointment, interpreters present a complete and truthful account of their training, certification, and experience, so the officers of the court can fairly evaluate their qualifications for delivering interpreting services.
