Interpreting Aboriginal justice in the Territory

Description

Aboriginal interpreters in the criminal justice system perform a demanding, thankless, even dangerous job. They are essential to justice for Aboriginal victims and defendants alike, but their scarcity impedes efforts to improve justice outcomes. Focusing particularly on the Northern Territory, this article identifies ways in which law, legal culture, and lack of funding intersect to undervalue Aboriginal interpreters.
