EVENT CLOSED

This training event will be presented in hybrid mode:

AUSIT's Tasmanian Branch presents Linguists and the Law: A practical seminar for Tasmanian T/I practitioners with the kind sponsorship of Amigos: Translators & Interpreters.

In this interactive 2-hour, face-to-face seminar, open to AUSIT members and non-members, the speaker will use practical examples taken from Australian court decisions to illustrate the operation of the Law in the work of T/I and, in particular, dilemmas encountered by practitioners in the course of assignments.
