The National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators (NAJIT) in the USA invites proposals for its 34th Annual Conference to be held in St. Louis, Missouri from 17 to 19 May 2013. Papers on all topics relevant to the profession are welcome. Submissions are to be made electronically, and the proposal form can be accessed here. The final proposal deadline is October 17, 2012.

You may also be interested in NAJIT’s upcoming webinars. The list can be consulted here. I noticed in particular Comparative Criminal Procedure and Contracts: Language and Concepts.

While most of NAJIT’s membership resides in the U.S, some members live and work in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Anyone with an interest in the field of judiciary interpreting and translating or who shares NAJIT’s interests and objectives is welcome to join.
