This fourth volume in the Studies in Interpretation series addresses the challenging but vital work of spoken and sign language interpreters in legal settings. The book's six chapters present data-based studies of the following: the 1987 Ivan Demjanjuk trial in Israel; asylum appeals in Austria; a Danish-English interpreter's discourse practices; the effectiveness of interpreting in an Australian courtroom as a way to determine whether deaf citizens should serve as jurors; sign language interpreter team preparation in Canadian trials; and the inadequacy of Malaysian legal services resulting from the lack of sign language interpreters.

Debra Russell is director of the Western Canadian Centre for Deaf Studies and is the David Peikoff Chair of Deaf Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada. Sandra Hale is professor of interpreting and translation at the University of New South Wales.
