Legal Words for Interpreters

Legal Words for Interpreters | Criminal Law - DV and sexual offences

Are you an interpreter who works in the legal area, interpreting and translating in police interviews, conferences and court rooms particularly in domestic and family violence matters or sexual based offences? 

In this half day free training, you will learn from our experienced criminal lawyers about legal terminology and the laws in these areas to help you work with our clients in conferences with lawyers, police interviews and in court. 

Importantly, this training is separate for women and men. We hope this enables a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable talking and asking questions about the laws around domestic violence and sexual offences.

Session for men: Thursday 14 August 2025
