The Inter-American Court for Human Rights


For my thesis I am translating a Judgment from the Inter-American Court for Human Rights so when I found out about an internship in their Translation Department I couldn't resist. It is a 3 month internship with 18 other interns from all over the Western Hemisphere. My cube neighbors are from Canada, Brazil and Chile. Last week I was able to attend the Court's public hearings and learn a whole lot of legal jargon by listening to the simulteanous translation provided on a small radio. The official languages of the Court are Spanish, English, and French. To find out more about the Court check out the following link:
