RULE 14.320. REPRESENTATION OF QUALIFICATIONS

Interpreters shall accurately and completely represent their registrations,
official state-level designations, other certifications, training, and pertinent
experience.

Committee Notes
Acceptance of a case by an interpreter conveys linguistic 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 interpreters present a complete and truthful account of
their training, certification and experience prior to appointment so the court can
fairly evaluate their qualifications for delivering interpreting services.
