A tolmácsok, akár hangzó, akár jelnyelvi tolmácsok, számos különböző területen dolgoznak, például jogi témákban és olyan eseményeken, ahol jogi szaknyelvet használnak. Számos törvényhozó testület alkalmazza a bírósági vagy egyéb jogi tolmácsoláshoz való jogot, mióta az ENSZ 1996-ban elfogadta A Polgári és Politikai Jogok Nemzetközi Egyezségokmányát. Számos adat áll rendelkezésre arról, hogy a peres feleknek személyiségi jogaik védelmében joguk van tolmácsoláshoz, például az EU kötelezi a tagállamait, hogy jogi ügyekben biztosítsanak tolmácsot, és több kontinensen is igyekeznek meggyőzni a törvényhozókat, hogy a tolmácsolás biztosítása jog legyen, ne pedig mérlegelés tárgya (Gibbons & Grabau 1996; Hertog 2010; Laster & Taylor 1994; Mikkelson 2000; Phelan 2011).
