D. Neb. NECrimR 28.3
Court Interpreter Responsibilities
(a) Confidentiality.
Court interpreters must comply with all statutory requirements of
confidentiality and secrecy and must protect all privileged and confidential
information. Court interpreters must not disclose to anyone confidential
information obtained while performing interpreting duties in or relating to
proceedings in this court unless the court orders otherwise.
(b) Disclosure of Conflict.
Court interpreters must disclose promptly to the court and the parties any
apparent or actual conflict of interest, including any prior involvement with
the case or persons significantly involved in the case.
(c) Legal Advice.
A court interpreter must refrain from giving advice of any kind to any party
or individual involved in court proceedings in which the interpreter has been
engaged to perform interpreting services.
(d) Public Statement.
A court interpreter must not publicly express an opinion concerning court
proceedings in which the interpreter has been engaged to perform
interpreting services.
(e) Representative of the Court.
Court interpreters work for the court and not the parties. Therefore, a court
interpreter should provide only services requested by the presiding judge.
Attorneys may request additional assistance from a court interpreter during
a trial or hearing and during related recesses, but the court interpreter may
not provide that additional assistance without the presiding judge's prior
approval.
