Students will analyse the complex linguistic, cultural and ethical challenges of translating legal documents and interpreting in legal settings. Students will explore the theoretical foundations of the law, legal terminology and discourse, and the roles of various participants in the Australian legal system. Applied aspects of this unit focus on the specific expectations and challenges faced by translators and interpreters working in police, court and other legal settings.
