RULE 14.350. PROFESSIONAL DEMEANOR

Interpreters shall conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the dignity
of the court and shall be as unobtrusive as possible.

Committee Notes
Interpreters should know and observe the established protocol, rules,
procedures, and dress code when delivering interpreting services. When speaking
in English, interpreters should speak at a rate and volume that enables them to be
heard and understood throughout the courtroom, but the interpreter’s presence
should otherwise be as unobtrusive as possible. Interpreters should work without
drawing undue or inappropriate attention to themselves. Interpreters should dress
in a manner that is consistent with the dignity of the proceeding of the court.

Interpreters shall refrain from making any type of referral. Interpreters shall
adhere to all instructions given by the court in which their services are being used.
