Iowa Ct. R. ch. 48, Applicability
Applicability
The Code of Professional Conduct for Court Interpreters and Translators (Code of Conduct) governs
the delivery of services by oral and sign language interpreters and translators in legal proceedings or
in offices of the Iowa Judicial Branch. This Code of Conduct describes the role and defines the duties
of interpreters, enhancing the administration of justice and promoting public confidence in the legal
system. The canons apply to oral and sign language interpreters and translators and also to real-time
court reporters providing language access to deaf or hearing-impaired persons who can read English.
The comments guide the conduct of interpreters but should be read broadly to guide the conduct of
translators and real-time court reporters when applicable.
