Funciones del Administrador de la Corte en el Programa de Intérpretes

Explicación Simple

El Administrador de la Corte se encarga de asegurarse de que haya intérpretes certificados en los juicios. Esto significa que si alguien no habla bien inglés, puede tener a alguien que le ayude a entender lo que pasa en el tribunal.

Es como tener un traductor en un viaje al extranjero. Si no hablas el idioma del lugar, el traductor te ayuda a comunicarte y entender lo que dicen los demás.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que María, que habla español, tiene una cita en la corte porque necesita resolver un problema. Gracias a la ley, la corte le proporciona un intérprete certificado que le explica todo lo que está pasando, asegurándose de que María entienda cada detalle de su caso.
