A personal question

You interpret regularly with a client. One day, as you are waiting for the meeting to begin, your client asks, "How long have you been married?"

+What is the conflict?
+What Code of Professional Conduct informs this conflict?
+What do you do?
+What are the long- and short-term consequences of your decision?

Skipping out early

You interpret at a high school. Your show up to the last period of the day and notice your student skipped out early. What do you do? Do you leave? If you leave, do you report that on your invoice? What are your options?

+What is the ethical conflict?
+What is the Code of Professional Conduct the interpreters should be keeping in mind?
+What did you do?
+What should you do?
+What are the consequences of your decision?
