Court interpreters face ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. This presentation will use the Code of Responsibility for Interpreters in the Minnesota Court System as a guide for resolving real ethical issues taken from practical experience. In the field of interpreting, state organizations and professional associations started developing codes of professional responsibility as way to differentiate themselves from other professions, and also as a way to demonstrate that the profession should uphold high ethical standards. With time, the courts have decided to develop their own codes of ethics for interpreters. The Code of Professional Responsibility for Court Interpreters in the Minnesota Court System (hereinafter, 'Minnesota Code') was written based on the Model Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters in the Judiciary from the Consortium for State Court Interpreter Certification. The Consortium was created in 1995, and Minnesota is one of the four founding members, along with New Jersey, Oregon and Washington. Today the Consortium has 32 members. The Consortium’s agreement states among other things that its role is to facilitate court interpretation, test development and administration standards.
