Monterey offers 5-day course in court interpreting (2013)
The well-known Monterey Institute of International Studies is offering a 5-day course, details of which can be found below. I’m sure that many of you will have heard of the eminent Holly Mikkelson. Monterey also runs translation courses regularly. My only regret for those of us outside the US is that they don’t run more courses that can be attended online.
e-learning – EN/PT legal translation
Tradulínguas, the organizers of last year’s Lisbon conference (see my post here with a link to a report by Philippa Hammond) are offering an introductory course on legal translation delivered electronically. The trainer is Dr. Ana Soares, whose abilities as a lively speaker I can vouch for, having experienced them in person. She is registered as a lawyer in Portugal and as a solicitor with the Law Society of England and Wales, and teaches legal concepts at the Instituto Superior de Línguas e Administração in Lisbon, as well as being a legal translator.
The brochure on this e-learning course can be consulted here. Deadline for applications is 12 November 2012.
