Labor Day in the U.S. is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the power of collective action by laborers, who are essential for the workings of society. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend. AML-Global staffs use the Labor Day holiday as part of a long weekend where they can relax, spend time with friends or family members, play or watch sport, have barbecues.

Timely Tips for Legal Interpreting
Attorneys working with interpreters will obtain the best service if they use clear and precise language. The interpreters might ask for repetitions, rephrasing or clarification if a message lacks clarity and should not be held responsible if the non-English- speaking client does not understand the message because of concepts that are linguistically or culturally unfamiliar to them.
The interpreter should alert the attorney if a concept is untranslatable or culturally inappropriate. The interpreter must tell the client what they are saying to the attorney. So, for example, if the lawyer is talking about precedents, the interpreter might know the word for precedent, but the client may not understand if the client comes from a different legal system. The interpreter should then say to the lawyer that this concept does not exist in the client’s culture.
