New York State Unified Court System Court Interpreter Manual and Code of Ethics

This manual is intended to provide court interpreters in the New York State Unified Court System with information about their vital role in the administration of justice, and the professional standards and ethical responsibilities they are obligated to maintain in carrying out their duties. It also provides information about the selection and employment of court interpreters. The Unified Court System is committed to ensuring that court interpreting professionals provide fair and impartial assistance to the diverse, multilingual community we serve. We hope that this manual, in setting forth the high standards of performance and ethics to which court interpreters are held, will help to promote that goal.
