Iowa Ct. R. ch. 48, Canon 6
RESTRICTION OF PUBLIC COMMENT
An interpreter must not publicly discuss, report, or offer an opinion concerning a matter in which the
interpreter is or has been engaged, even when that information is not privileged or required by law to
be confidential, except to facilitate training and education.
Comment to Canon 6.
Generally, an interpreter should not discuss interpreter assignments with anyone other than persons
who have a formal duty associated with the case. For purposes of interpreter education and training,
however, an interpreter may share information only about cases in which a final judgment has been
entered and may divulge only as much information as is required to accomplish this purpose. Unless
so ordered by a court or permitted under Canon 5, an interpreter must never reveal privileged or
confidential information for any purpose, including training and education.
