What are the prospects of finding work?
Prospects will vary, depending on your geographic location, the language you interpret or translate, the need for interpreters or translators of that language, your availability, your credentials, your level of experience and your entrepreneurial abilities. Your first step would be to contact the courts in your area-municipal, state and federal-and inquire as to their needs. Some courts already have an interpreting department; contact those supervisors and seek their guidance. Other potential sources of employment are state justice agencies, public defender organizations, or the private sector.
