[Date] 09/10 [Summary of complaint] Interpreter filed complaint against interpreter for allegedly summarizing statements of LEP party's testimony, not seeking clarification with unfamiliar terms, and speaking in the third person. [Relevant rule(s)] SCR 63.01 Accuracy and Completeness and SCR 63.08 Reporting Impediments to Performance [Outcome] 
Upon review of an audio recording of the proceedings, Eenough evidence was produced to determine a finding that significant ethical breaches were committed by interpreter. Revocation of interpreter's certification was imposed and stayed. Interpreter was required to re-take sessions on Code of Ethics and small group discussion at an interpreter orientation, re-reading the SCR 63.01 and 63.08 along with the accompanying comments. The district court administrator who works in the courts where the interpreter is frequently assigned should randomly monitor the interpreter's performance during proceedings.
