German interpretation is mostly boardroom, M&A, patent litigation and technical audits. We cover both Swiss German (with an interpreter from Switzerland) and Austrian German as specialty dialect requests.

Court proceedings by video
A court holds a proceeding by video when it allows remote appearances, for example for a party or a witness who lives far away or cannot travel. Each court decides when remote interpreting is allowed, so tell us the court and the proceeding when you book. Video is also a way to reach a language when no interpreter for it works near the courthouse, because our interpreters join from anywhere in the US.
The judge presides, and the court hosts the call and admits each participant. The attorneys and parties join from their own places, and a witness may testify from another state. The interpreter joins as a guest, and the court admits them the same way, to interpret for the person who speaks another language.
The interpreter makes the proceeding as clear to the person who speaks another language as it is to everyone else on the call. Every question, every answer and everything the judge says is interpreted in full, in both directions. The interpreter is neutral, keeps what they hear confidential, and does not explain a ruling, advise a party or give an opinion.
On the call
Add the court's link and its rules for remote interpreters to the booking notes as soon as the court has them, along with the case name and the names of the parties. The interpreter reads the notes before the session. If the court cannot add a guest to its own platform, we create a Texliff room, which opens in the browser with nothing to install.
On-site, video or phone
Each court sets its own rules for remote interpreting, so check them before you choose video.
Book an interpreter in the courthouse for trials and for hearings where the court wants everyone in the room.
On-Site Interpretation for CourtsVideo fits remote hearings, testimony from a witness in another place and conferences the court already holds on a platform.
Phone suits a short call where the court allows it and nothing needs to be shown.

Can't find it here?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and the court's own platform, always as a guest. The court chooses the platform, and the interpreter follows it.
You can ask for it in the booking notes. A booking is for the service, not for a particular interpreter, so we take the request into account and assign them when they are available.
No, unless you ask. Any record of the proceeding is the court's.
An interpreter who has to travel to an office to join a video proceeding from there is an on-site booking. Book on-site for the courthouse, or book video and the interpreter joins from wherever they work.
You pay for the hours you book, and the total shows before you pay. Book the time the court has set aside, plus breaks, because unused time is not refunded.
70 languages. Spanish, Portuguese, French, Tagalog, Russian and Haitian Creole are among the easiest to schedule, and rare languages need more notice.
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed German interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
Swiss German spoken dialects are mutually difficult for Standard German speakers; Swiss written German is Standard but uses ß-less orthography. Austrian German uses distinct administrative terminology.
