View from the Dock, Diary of a Court Interpreter
View from the Dock offers exactly that, a back row seat in a courtroom, next to the defendant and, in this case, their interpreter. Best seat in the house, save possibly, for the judge.
The dock is often separated from the rest of the room by a glass panel. This simple security measure can create a peculiar sense of detachment from the proceedings, which in turn allows the dock inhabitants to gain an unusual perspective on what unfolds directly in front of them.
View from the Dock invites you to share this unique glimpse into nuances and vagaries experienced by those involved in the implementation of justice.
