On an average day, the services of professional spoken (foreign) and unspoken (deaf spectrum) language interpreters are required in over 600 civil and criminal cases heard before the courts and tribunals in England and Wales. Interpreters do not fulfil an auxiliary or support role. They are an essential component of the English legal system, ensuring equality before the law through non-discrimination and the right to a fair trial by enabling parties to participate in proceedings in a language they understand.
