Assisting clients who need or would benefit from interpreters is an important but sometimes complex part of the legal process.
In this session, Alex Zhang, herself an interpreter, will be in discussion with interpreters and decision-makers about how this process can be easier. Consideration will be given to taking and clarifying instructions, explaining and go through the court process as well as how lawyers can better work with interpreters.
Speakers include Senior Member Michelle Evans-Bonner (Administrative Appeals Tribunal), Max Beckerling (Francis Burt Chambers) and interpreter Kym Song.
Attendees are encouraged to submit questions.
Attendees will be eligible for 0.5 CPD points in CA2 (Professional Skills) and 0.5 CPD points in CA3 (Ethics and Professional Responsibility).
Proceeds from this event will go toward supporting funding Piddington's access to justice projects. These are: the Piddington PLT Fund, which supports the community legal centres (CLCs) that host Piddington PLT graduates to complete their hours required for admission; the Piddington Justice Fund for CLCs, to cover costs that they otherwise cannot meet; and, Kaartdijin, our First Nations Legal Education Fund. Thanks to your attendance, engagement and support, we are able to make annual contributions of more than $50,000 to the community through these projects.
Note:
Practitioner ID numbers are issued by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. Information from the Board is available here. We require these to issue CPD certificates. If you do not provide us with one then we may contact you following the event.
