In response to increasing mobility and migration in Europe, the
European Directive 2010/64/EU on strengthening the rights to
interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings has
highlighted the importance of quality in legal translation and
interpreting. At the same time, the economic situation is putting
pressure on public services and translation/interpreting service
providers alike, jeopardizing quality standards and fair access to
justice. With regard to interpreting, the use of videoconference
technology is now being widely considered as a potential solution
for gaining cost-effective and timely access to qualified legal
interpreters. However, this gives rise to many questions,
including: how technological mediation through videoconferencing
affects the quality of interpreting; how this is related to the
actual videoconference setting and the distribution of
participants; and ultimately whether the different forms of
video-mediated interpreting are sufficiently reliable for legal
communication. It is against this backdrop that the AVIDICUS
Project (2008-11), co-funded by the European Commission's
Directorate-General Justice, set out to research the quality and
viability of video-mediated interpreting in criminal proceedings.
This volume, which is based on the final AVIDICUS Symposium in
2011, presents a cross-section of the findings from AVIDICUS and
complementary research initiatives, as well as recommendations for
judicial services, legal practitioners and police officers, and
legal interpreters.
