162a56e6_omplaints_against_interpreters__Outcome
[Date] 11/06 [Summary of complaint] Interpreter filed complaint against another interpreter for allegedly using threatening remarks; for interfering in a confidential conversation between attorney and client in a crowded hallway; and for a general lack of professionalism towards colleagues. [Relevant rule(s)] SCR 63.04 Professional Demeanor; SCR 63.05 Confidentiality; SCR 63.08 Assessing and Reporting Impediments to Performance [Outcome] 
No significant ethical breaches had been committed by interpreter. No corroboration of either interpreter's story was presented so both interpreters' versions of the situation were plausible. In a busy hallway, the expectation of privacy may be compromised. The motivation for filing the complaint was questioned since it was interpreter against interpreter. Interpreters may be asked to work together in the future and should be mindful if this incident affects their ability to do so, either interpreter must not take assignment.
