Resumen: This second edition revises and up-dates the first edition that was published in 1979. Like its predecessor, this manual attempts to cover the practical and most common aspects of Spanish judiciary interpreting in the U.S. courts of law only [law enforcement, drugs, felonies, misdemeanors, labor disputes, immigration issues, domestic and juvenile matters and other things people go to court for]. There are sections on motorized vehicles and anatomy for personal injury cases; however, in such cases, medical dictionaries should also be consulted, depending on the types of injuries suffered. The Dictionary portion took into account the following factors: English- and Spanish-speaking countries have two very different legal systems- common law and Roman law, respectively. Thus, it is not always possible to have a word for word equivalent, but concepts that must be interpreted; each of the more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries of the world, has its own vernacular and regionalisms- wich have to be identified and learned by the interpreter according to the geographical region in which he/she works; the southwestern states have a Spanish-speaking population that has developed its own terminology over the centuries since the Conquistadors, so "Chicano" or Mexican-American [MA] has been included when possible; street language and drug slang changes constantly, from city to city and neighborhood, but the words included herein have remained pretty constant over the last decade or two.

Resumen: This edition of "The Interpreter's Edge is intented for use by students, instructors, and persons engaged in self study. Instructors and self-study students will also need the Instructor's/Self-Study Notes, which are bound in a separate volume and include extensive comments and suggested translations for each text in this book. Students enrolled in a structured court interpreting course do not need, and probably should not have access to, the Instructor's/Self-Study Notes. Instead, they should rely on the guidance of an experienced instructor. Students who have only the present volume, and are not enrolled in a course, can purchase the Instructor's/Self ́Study notes separately from ACEBO. The three chapters of "The Interpreter's Edge cover the three modes of interpreting that court interpreters are required to master: "Simultaneous Interpreting, "Consecutive Interpreting", "Sight Translation".
