Access to justice in interpreted proceedings: the role of Judicial Officers

这一项目旨在研究司法人员如何改善法庭沟通，防止沟通失误和错误，特别是在刑事案件中，涉及使用“新出现的”和土著语言的人，而口译员接受的培训有限或根本没有得到专门培训。该项目采用一种创新的跨学科方法，旨在产生新的知识，以审查司法人员在与口译员合作时的通信做法的变化，以及这些变化对审判室有效传递信息的影响。这一项目的预期成果将包括改善口译交流的成果和非英语参与者更好地诉诸司法。

This project aims to examine the ways judicial officers can improve courtroom communication and prevent miscommunication and error, particularly in criminal cases where speakers of the 'new and emerging' and Aboriginal languages are involved, and where interpreters receive limited or no specialised training. Using an innovative interdisciplinary approach, the project aims to generate new knowledge in examining the variations in judicial officers communications practice when working with interpreters, and their impact on the effective transmission of information in the courtroom. Expected outcomes of this project will include improved outcomes of interpreted communication and a better access to justice for non-English speaking participants.
