Ethical decisions must be made daily in the interpreting profession. These decisions are often made in a split second, sometimes without realizes you made a decision that impacts the interpreting situation and other peoples' lives. As I prepared for the NIC exam, I realized that bringing situations to a group, discussing exactly what the ethical dilemma was, the possible solutions as well as the ramifications for those solutions fortified me with a more thorough ability to make sound decision in a moment of pressure.
This is a place to post, read and discuss real life situations that interpreters are in. If you have a situation you would like discussed, please email me at ethicalterp at gmail.com. Take care to remove all identifying factors while keeping the integrity of the situation. I will take a further step to ensure anonymity of consumers by proofing the situation and posting it myself. That way no one will know if the situation happened in Seattle, Michigan or Florida.
