The problematic use of the whispering mode of interpreting in court

What is it about?

This paper reviews appellate courts' judgments on interpretation-related appeals involving the use of the whispering mode of interpreting - chuchotage, and critically evaluates its limitations. These limitations potentially compromise interpreting accuracy. The absence of a record of the interpretation provided in this mode, in particular, spells problems for the appellate court dealing with appeals advanced on interpretation problems.

Why is it important?

This is an interdisciplinary study in translation and law, and has wider implications for the administration of justice.
