Under the law, a court interpreter is brought into legal proceedings when any participant in a criminal or civil case has insufficient knowledge (or none at all) of the language in which investigative actions are carried out, court hearings are conducted and documents are drawn up. In the Russian Federation, that language is, by law, Russian as the state language of the Russian Federation, or the state language of a republic that is a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (except in military courts, where proceedings are conducted exclusively in Russian).
Providing an interpreter guarantees a participant in the proceedings (a suspect, accused, defendant, witness, civil plaintiff or defendant, defense counsel, etc.) the full right to give testimony, address the court, file motions and submit complaints in their native language or in another language of their choice. In addition, a court interpreter is engaged not only for oral interpreting but also for written translation, which is needed when a person must be served with investigative documents, court hearing transcripts, a court decision, and so on. You can always order court interpreting and translation services from the Kerner bureau. Professionalism, experience, objectivity and integrity – these are the qualities of every court interpreter, engaged by our company.
