Each week a new topic will be introduced to help the students learn the specialized terminology of criminal and civil court proceedings. Regional differences in Spanish usage will also be emphasized throughout the exercises. By the end of the semester, students will be able to accurately interpret statements up to 60 words in length and will be ready to take oral certification exams for court interpreters.
