Administrative Hearing Interpreters interpret during state agency hearings for persons lacking sufficient
English language proficiency to understand the proceedings and/or to participate in the presentation of
their appeal. The interpreter interprets all oral communication including conversations between the
attorney and client, witness testimony, and statements made by the Administrative Hearing Law Judge or
the designated hearing officer, attorneys and expert witnesses who frequently use legal and technical
terminology. Interpreters may also translate written documents (orally or in writing), often of a legal
nature. NOTE: California law deems state certified Administrative Hearing Interpreters qualified as
Medical Interpreters.
Medical Interpreters do the same type of interpreting during medical examinations conducted for the
purpose of determining compensation or monetary award.
