LAW M A T T E R S

I N S I D E T H I S I S S U E :

It’s December! You’re in the home stretch of the year. Pat yourself on the back and get some rest, relaxation and rejuve-nation during the holidays, so you can give yourself a fresh start for the New Year. If you did not have a chance to make it to the New Admittees Breakfast, it was a wonderful event. We had over 300 at-tendees and Judge Sheila Calloway, Juvenile Court Judge was the keynote speaker and she was excellent. Judge Calloway’s theme was “Overcoming Challenges to

Move Forward.” She told the story of “The Little Engine that Could” and used the messages within the story to impart great advice to the new admittees embarking on their new law career journey. She encouraged the new admittees to:

Find their Passion Find a Support System; and Get Up and Move, No Matter the Obstacles.

Even though Judge Calloway was addressing the new admitteees, I found her ad-vice relevant to any stage of a legal career journey or any career, generally. Passion. In order to stay engaged in your career, you need to at least like what you’re doing. The best scenario, of course, is to be excited about what you are doing. If you aren’t excited about what you’re doing, you probably aren’t staying true to yourself, and suppressing who you are or what you love is not the path to success or happiness. If you’re starting out in your career, figure out what motivates you and what makes you smile. Use those things to set your path. Do well for yourself, but do not chase money or a title – there are plenty of miserable people with a lot of mon-ey and fancy titles. Define your own success. If you’re further along in your career and you’re not happy don’t be afraid to reevaluate your situation. Your career is likely to have more longevity and suc-cess if it centers on your passion.

Support System. The practice of law is challenging, but it can be less challenging if you have the right support system. Build up your network. Have and keep confidants who will tell you the bitter truth and help you make the tough decisions, have men-tors who will guide you along the way, and have sponsors who are “movers and shakers” with the influence and the power to help you get things done and get to the next level. All three are important to have along your journey. Moving in the Midst of Obstacles. We all know that life is neither fair nor easy. If you practice law long enough, you’ll likely encounter an obstacle or two in your law career. Don’t let those obstacles discourage you, keep moving. Judge Calloway closed her speech with the story of Bessie the Cow (if you have a moment Google it and read it in its entirety, although it won’t be the same as seeing and hearing Judge Calloway tell the story). In short, Bessie the Cow fell in a hole and her owner, a farmer, had no means to get her out. Although the farmer tried and tried to get her out, he could not and he eventu-ally decided it was best to just bury her poor old Bessie. The farmer began shoveling dirt on Bessie, but after several shovels full of dirt went into the hole, the farmer noticed something - Bessie was getting closer to the top. With every shovel of dirt, Bessie began to shake off the dirt, and take a step up, shake off the dirt, and take a step up, shake off the dirt, and take a step up. Even-tually, Bessie was at the top and was out of the hole. The moral of the story being – When life shovels dirt on you (i.e., job loss, stall in your career, or just plain mean people), shake it off and take a step up! You’ll rise above it all. Michael Jordan said it well, “Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” I wish you an obstacle free holiday season. See you in 2017.

November Meeting Recap

by Camille Steward

Alas, the holiday season is upon us, and LAW’s November meeting offered us lawyers some helpful advice on how to manage the stress of it all. Laura McClendon with the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP), Ann Butterworth, Assistant Comptroller for Tennessee Public Finance, and Karen Blake of Baker Donelson literally brought a tool box and the tools needed for a light and cheery presentation on a subject that could bring on the blues. The panel quickly pointed out that lawyers’ stress does not start when the holiday decorations are put up. It starts with the regu-lar 24 hours in a day that we are challenged to complete family obligations, work obligations, relationship obligations, and regu-lar daily duties including our unhealthy habit of checking work emails at home and maintaining our active social media life. Ac-cording to Ann, we can handle the holidays in one of three ways: 1) ignore them and pretend that they’re not coming; 2) deal with the season head on; or 3) be a superhero and attempt to do it all. While some of us agreed that number 1 is a totally unreasonable--but highly desired option--Karen explained through her own experience why number 3 was also not optimum for handling holiday stress or any stress for that matter. Left with the only op-tion of tackling the holidays head on, the panel offered the following advice for managing holiday stress:

Make time for yourself. Sometimes we think we are taking care of ourselves when actually we’re still taking care of others. Taking care of oneself means actually satisfying one of your own needs, not the needs of others.

Exercise. This can be as simple as taking a short walk or participating in group exercise (which can also be socially ful-

filling). Connect with loved ones, animals and/or nature. Connectivity can range from petting your dog to noticing the leaves

changing on the trees. Connecting to something other than ourselves disconnects us from our work or our holiday stress-ors.

Outsource your stress. Ask for help. Sounds simple, but many lawyers are reluctant to ask for help. Call on your primary

network of family or friends to fill in for you when needed. Limit or reduce your smart phone usage. We are constantly connected to our smart phones checking emails, communi-

cating on social media, etc. Turn them off. Show gratitude. Make a list of three things that you are grateful for and be grateful for them. Stay balanced. Staying balanced can be accomplished by meditating or taking deep breaths. It can also be as basic as mak-

ing a routine task like taking a bath and making it relaxing by simply taking your time to enjoy it. Say No. It’s okay to say no. If you are busy, say no and quit apologizing for being busy or saying no. Lower (or manage) expectations. Know the difference between expectations and reality. Quit setting unreasonable expec-

tations for yourself or creating false expectations. Be okay with not being perfect. Show compassion and forgiveness and stop judging one another.

Don’t talk politics. Lots of people come from politically blended families. There is no need to add politics to the already

stressful season. Just don’t do it!

Language and Litigation in Nashville Courts What judges and attorneys need to know about interpreters in the legal process

by Judith Kenigson Kristy, U.S.C.C.I. and Judge Lynda Jones Nashville has become an international community with several beautiful cultures and languages. With every passing year, more and more Limited English Proficient (LEP) persons are appearing in the courts or requiring legal services of one kind or another. No matter whether the case is civil or criminal, or whether the LEP party is indigent or non-indigent, the Department of Justice has made it clear that language access is an integral part of an individual’s civil rights, and that every entity receiving any federal funding whatsoever (including courts, jails, social agencies, etc.) is required to provide linguistic access to services (see www.LEP.gov). Here are a few tips to make fulfilling that requirement easier and more effective. If you need to determine the language spoken by a limited-English speaking individual, you may present them with the Language Identification Flashcard developed by the U.S. Census Bureau (downloadable here: http://www.lep.gov/ISpeakCards2004.pdf). The individual can check or point to the box that indicates the language he/she speaks. The court shall, pursuant to SCR 42, appoint an interpreter according to the following preferences:

Certified Registered Non-Credentialed

It is important to appoint according to preferences because only certified interpreters have passed all credentialing re-quirements. Registered interpreters have demonstrated that they speak two languages well but their ability to actually interpret in simultaneous, consecutive and sight translation modes has not yet been proven. Non-credentialed interpret-ers have not completed Tennessee’s court interpreter program requirements and are more likely than not to be un-trained and incapable of adequately performing the skills required to interpret in a legal setting. A non-credentialed interpreter may be appointed only if neither a certified nor a registered interpreter is reasonably available and “the court has evaluated the totality of the circumstances including the gravity of the judicial proceeding and the potential penalty or consequence involved.” In addition, the appointment of a non-credentialed interpreter re-quires that “A summary of the efforts made to obtain a certified or registered interpreter and to determine the capabili-ties of the proposed non-credentialed interpreter should be made in open court.” (SCR 42(3)(d)-(f)) The AOC maintains a roster of interpreters at www.tncourts.gov. At the top of the AOC webpage, put your cursor on “Programs”. A drop down menu appears; click on “Court Interpreters”. Follow instructions in the “Find an Interpret-er” screen to access a list of interpreters for the language needed. The roster is arranged alphabetically by city. If no interpreter is listed on the roster for the language you need, please contact the AOC at (615) 741-2687. The Supreme Court rules do not specify whether the counsel, party, or court is required to secure the services of an interpreter. At present, the preferred method in most areas is for the court to make arrangements for interpreter ser-vices, but the court can resolve the matter by issuing an order placing the burden on the person or persons the court deems appropriate.

If the court expects a hearing or trial to last for several hours or days, the court would be wise to appoint two interpreters to work as a “tag team”. Due to the level of concentration required to accurately perform simultaneous and/or consecutive interpretation, interpreters require frequent breaks to avoid errors caused by fatigue. If the court appoints two interpreters, they can perform continuous interpretation by alternating, thereby allowing the court to conduct the proceedings without unnecessary delays or interruptions. Use credentialed, preferably certified, court interpreters for both in-court and out-of-court events. Verify the interpreter’s creden-tials. If it is an in-court proceeding, make sure the interpreter is sworn in before the proceeding begins.

Verify credentials by consulting your state court roster, or by calling your local, state, or federal court clerk’s office or interpreter services office. Judges should ask the interpreter to state his/her credentials on the record and, if he/she is not certified, conduct a voir dire of the interpreter. (A sample voir dire can be downloaded here: http: //www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2015_attorneys_information_card.pdf.).


Do not use untrained bilinguals. It is inappropriate to use family members, children, foreign language students or teachers, court staff, or law enforcement officers as interpreters.

Don’t allow defendants to bring their own interpreters — not only does this practice create potential conflicts of inter-

est, but the ad hoc person acting as “interpreter” may not be trained or competent. Don’t ask for a “translator” when you need an “interpreter” — they are not interchangeable. Translators work with

written communication. Interpreters work with oral communication.

Be aware that an interpreter’s task is to create an even playing field for limited-English speakers; an interpreter provides no ad-vantage or disadvantage.

Interpreters’ ethical standards (see SCR41) include a prohibition against interjecting their own knowledge, comments, or opinions into the interpretation. Interpreters are likewise prohibited from advocating for any party. Don’t ask in-terpreters for their opinions or even what they think a defendant or witness might or might not have understood; it is not their area of expertise.

Use the interpreter to facilitate direct communication with limited-English proficient parties, not as a “go-between”.

Address the LEP individual directly in English, as if he understood everything you are saying. The interpreter will then interpret exactly what you have said in the required language. This avoids the use of indirect speech (e.g., “Ask him if ...” or “He says that...”), which can create confusion and a flawed record.

Check to make sure that all speech, by all parties, is being interpreted.

If someone is speaking and the interpreter’s mouth is not moving, there is a problem. If someone makes a lengthy statement and the interpretation is only a few words, or vice versa, there is a problem. The interpreter’s job is to in-terpret everything that is being said— no omissions, modifications, or additions.

In court, an interpreter should be interpreting simultaneously for an LEP defendant. If a non-English speaking witness

testifies, an interpreter should interpret the questions and answers consecutively so that a clear record may be made. To be understood, speak clearly at a moderate speed and an audible volume.

Unclear speech cannot be accurately interpreted. Avoid interruptions and overlapping voices. Avoid long, convoluted questions. Unfamiliar jargon or acronyms may cause a problem for the interpreter.

Although reluctant to interrupt the give-and-take of courtroom exchanges, interpreters have an ethical obligation to

ask for a repetition if speech is too low, too fast, too lengthy or incomprehensible ( due to the use of unknown refer-ences, heavy accent, jargon, abbreviations, or acronyms). Very long or complex questions and answers can result in interruptions or incomplete rendering by the interpreter, causing confusion.

The interpreter’s only task is to interpret. In order to conserve neutrality, impartiality and confidentiality, the interpreter should not be asked to explain concepts, perform other tasks or be alone with a defendant. Whenever possible, the interpreter will exit the room when the attorney exits the room.

Interpreters may not reveal information they have interpreted, but no privilege protects them if communication occurs when the attorney is not present. Any explanations that need to be made should be made by the attorney and then interpreted. The interpreter may, however, note and report to the attorney any confusion due to culture or vocabu-lary, and make an appropriate request for clarification.

Provide interpreters with the information and support needed to get the job done.

The more information an interpreter has about a case, the better he or she can interpret. Arrange for interpreters to receive or have access to documents related to the assignment: complaints and indictments with supporting docu-ments, investigative reports, motions and responses, witness and exhibit lists, bank and telephone records, technical documents (autopsies, drug analyses, etc.), PSRs, and so on. Whenever possible, try to use the same interpreter for

both in-court and out-of-court events in a given case. Whenever possible, inform defendants, court participants,

and jurors about the interpreter’s role.

In order to ensure an accurate record, provide a team of two interpreters for any lengthy or complex proceeding.

Studies have shown that interpreters, no matter how experienced or competent, suffer mental fatigue after about 30

minutes of continuous interpreting. The use of a team prevents interpreter fatigue and ensures accuracy. Teams act as a safety net, so that errors may be corrected and terminology queries answered. When a large number of defend-ants will be present at a proceeding, it may be necessary to hire more interpreters to facilitate attorney-client consul-tations.

A conflict of interest is not the same for an interpreter as for an attorney. An interpreter can work for either side or both sides of a case. The only prohibition is that an interpreter cannot be a witness in the same case in which she is acting as a proceedings interpreter.

Interpreters cannot be advocates or take sides. They are neutral officers of the court and thus may work for either side, or both sides, of a dispute. Nevertheless, before being appointed as a proceedings interpreter, the interpreter must reveal to the judge and parties any prior contacts with the case. In addition, a conflict does arise if an interpret-er may be called by one of the parties as a witness. An interpreter cannot testify as an expert witness and also work as a proceedings interpreter in the same case.

Foreign-language evidence should be handled appropriately. Foreign-language documents introduced into evidence should be accompanied by a translation. (The translation may be stipulated, or authenticated through testimony.) A party offering recorded evidence should obtain prior transcription and translation of any sound file. A recording should never be translated “on the spot” in court.

Court interpreters are tested and certified for their skills in interpreting, not translating. Do not assume that any inter-preter (even a certified one) is automatically capable of producing a professional translation of documents; be sure to inquire about his or her experience and expertise in translation. Preferably, choose a Certified Translator who has been tested by the American Translators Association or a similar credentialing body.

Just as there are experts in fingerprint identification and blood-spatter analysis, there are experts in the forensic tran-

scription and translation (FTT) of recorded material for evidentiary purposes. Find and use an FTT expert for this kind of work and be sure to do so in a timely fashion – it can often take weeks to produce an accurate transcript, especially when the recording is long, noisy and characterized by overlapping voices and other auditory or linguistic problems. Never ask an interpreter to render a simultaneous interpretation of recorded material in court — at best, the results will be approximate and guesswork, not evidence.

Interpreters are support staff for your court: it is important to promote an atmosphere of consideration, respect, and cooperation among courts officers and other personnel who work with them. When interpreters work in the judicial system, they need a table in the courtroom for notebooks and laptops, a cup of water, a place to store their belongings, and a place to rest when off duty. Your kindness is much appreciated.

New Member Spotlight:

Kristen Cass

Where did you grow up? Tell us about your path to practicing law (college, law school, reason why you chose the profession). I lived in Wilbur By The Sea, Florida until I was 11, and then my family moved to New Smyrna Beach, where I lived until leaving for Michigan for law school. Throughout high school and into college, I worked at my brother's law firm, so I was exposed to the practice of law at an early age. It wasn't until my last year of college, though, until I decided to take the plunge and plan my path to law school.

What brought you to Nashville? To escape the harsh Michigan winters - and I liked the music scene. But on a serious note, Nashville was a place that I immediately felt like I could call home, given its strong sense of community, rich history, and job opportunities. Tell us about your family. (Are you married? Do you have children? Pets?) I have a 4 year old Maine Coon Cat (name still dis-puted by family and friends) who kept me company during law school. I recently adopted a Coonhound named Heidi from the Nashville Humane Society. What do you do professionally and what is your favorite part of your job? I am an attorney at Baker Donelson in the Real Estate department. I enjoy working on various transactions and finding solutions to the challenges presented in those transac-tions. My favorite part of my job, however, is working alongside a talented group of colleagues who teach me every day how to hone my practice. If you weren’t a lawyer, what would you be and why? A professional photographer for National Geographic! It would allow me to travel and pursue my hobby of taking copious pictures of trees and landscapes. How did you get involved in LAW and what is your favorite thing about being a member? A colleague at the firm recom-mended the organization, so I reached out for more information. I enjoy meeting new people in the law profession and being in-volved in community events. What motivated you to join LAW? I wanted to find a way to give back to the Nashville community. What do you like to do with your spare time (if you have any)? Hiking and exploring Tennessee, photography, watching film noir, playing Skyrim with my boyfriend, and going to concerts. What book(s) are you reading right now? Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee and Yes Please by Amy Poehler. What book could you read over and over again? The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd or Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. What are the first five songs in your music app playlist or that you’ve downloaded? Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, Jolene by Dolly Parton, Your Song by Elton John, Dear Mama by Tupac Shakur, Son Of A Son Of A Sailor by Jimmy Buffet. What is your favorite quote, piece of advice, or a motto you try to live by "Lean In, Woman!" stated by Samantha Bee on one of her 'Full Frontal' episodes. Any “fun facts” about you other LAW members don’t know? I learned how to skateboard during 2L year in the off hours of the parking structure closest to the law building. What woman most inspires you and why? Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a fantastic actress and timeless style icon, she dedicated the latter part of her life to volunteer work and helping others.

It’s a Saturday in Nashville, what are you doing? Checking out new venues and uncovering the best dog parks around town. Complete this sentence: I would love to travel to Costa Rica to visit the Sloth Sanctuary.
