Words that POP UP in Court!

This series will be a growing mini-glossary of courtroom words and phrases that come up in real hearings. I’m a Federal Court Certified Spanish Interpreter (from Mexico) in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience—and I still encounter common terms that can momentarily slip away (which isn't good when you are in Court and everyone is waiting for you to interpret!)

Each short highlights a term, my Spanish/English rendering, and invites community input. This is intended to be practical, friendly, and collaborative—not instructional or critical. Respectful, constructive participation is welcome; mocking or drama is not.
