This article focuses on the challenges of multilingual court work in Finland. The
goal of the article is to describe on the basis of one interpreting event the kind of
problems that can be found in the court work regarding the collaboration of two
professions: the court interpreters and the legal professionals. The point of
departure is to answer the question: how do legal professionals and court
interpreters collaborate in the court? First, the article argues for the need of shared
expertise and multiprofessional collaboration in the field of legal translating and
court interpreting. This claim is justified by a short description of a legal
translation, some recent interviews, a survey, and the theory of situated learning
and legitimate peripheral participation. Second, the article describes a problematic
multilingual session in a Finnish district court on the basis of a transcribed
hearing. Finally, the article offers some suggestions for the development of the
current situation of court interpreting and legal translating in Finland. The
conclusion is that the current situation in courtroom reflects the lack of
understanding of the process of interpreting.
