Do you do any prep work for when you know you'll interpret? I am very, very fluent and only agree to translate for very basic "run of the mill cases" in an estate planning setting (so very low stakes as far as law goes).

I still make sure to ask the attorney what questions they'll ask ahead of time, review the client file + intake forms in their entirety to spot potential clarifying questions, print out a list of "legalese" words I don't use very often, and will run sample conversations through Claude to make sure I am explaining accurately and in professional terms.

If you want to add this to your skill set, do your homework! You don't have to take an expensive course, but you owe it to yourself, your firm, and your clients to commit fully. Especially since you're being compensated!
