When I finished reading this book my main impression was what pleasant read! It seems that the author does not expect the reader to have any knowledge of court interpretation, and thus the book is an easy read for those who are not well acquainted with court interpreting matters. At the same time, I believe that it provides useful reading for those who are trained interpreters, for it gives an overall view of legal procedures and of how the profession is practiced in different countries. It certainly provides a comprehensive perspective on the issues surrounding interpretation in that the main aspects regarding such professional practice are all included.
