A CCIO Webinar:

Arraignments in Latin America:

Enhancing the Spanish Court Interpreter’s

Legal Terminology Repertoire

Presented By: Sandro Tomasi

​

Saturday, January 30, 2021

11:00 a.m.  - 1:00 p.m. EST

 

With the criminal procedure reforms in Latin America throughout the last couple of decades, most Spanish-speaking countries have switched from a Roman-law inquisitorial system (sistema inquisitivo) to a common-law-based adversarial system (sistema acusatorio). This seminar will explore the commonalities between the two systems from a legal-terminology perspective to give court interpreters more terms for their repertoire.

Sandro is the author of the authoritative and acclaimed lexicographic work, An English-Spanish Dictionary of Criminal Law and Procedure, or Tomasi’s Law Dictionary. As an interpretation and translation educator, Sandro has trained over 3000 language professionals and has taught interpreter and terminology courses for the CUNY Continuing Education Programs at Hostos College and Queens College, the New Mexico Center for Language Access, and the New York Task Force on Immigrant Health, among many other institutions.
