Md. Interpreter Canon 4 (2026)

Interpreters shall conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the dignity of the court and shall be as unobtrusive as possible.

Commentary

Interpreters should know and observe the established protocol, rules, and procedures for delivering interpreting services. Interpreters should work without drawing undue or inappropriate attention to themselves.

Interpreters should avoid obstructing the view of any of the individuals involved in the proceedings. However, the positioning of interpreters should be conducive to receiving effective communications.
