The Benefits of Using an Interpreter
Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
Litigation attorney Daniel Small published an article in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly examining the strategic benefits of using an interpreter for witness testimony in depositions and at trial. Sharing anecdotes from the prosecution of a corrupt former Boston official, Mr. Small explains how an interpreter can do more than bridge language gaps; they can help a witness better understand questions, avoid damaging misunderstandings and maintain composure under aggressive cross-examination. The article underscores that interpreters, when properly prepared and used effectively, can strengthen both the clarity of testimony and the overall presentation of a case.
