Venue: Supreme Court of the Northern Territory – Darwin

This Conference will be of benefit to interpreters who work in the courts, judicial officers, legal practitioners, court staff, police officers and other persons who regularly deal with people for whom English is not a first language in the context of court proceedings.

The emphasis will be on interpreting Aboriginal languages, although not exclusively so. The primary focus will be on issues that arise in the Courts when interpreting the main Aboriginal languages spoken throughout the Northern Territory.
