A 2-hour panel discussion on the legal framework that governs translation and interpretation in the country and in Florida. We aim to prompt a review and enhancement of our knowledge of the laws, rules, and regulations that define our scope of action as professional translators and interpreters. We also seek to promote reflection on the importance of standards and practices that can help improve our levels of competency and delivery of quality work, which in turn helps foster the confidence and acknowledgment that can bring success to our professional enterprises.
