INTRODUCTION
This document is a working compilation of terminological choices made by the

translation team that issues official translations of documents issued by the
Administrative Office of the Courts. It is updated each time new documents
present translation challenges resolved by the team.
The primary purpose of the Glossary is to be a guide to the Judiciarys translation
program in order to promote uniform translation where appropriate. If court
interpreters can use it as a reference tool when working on the terminological
challenges they encounter, then that is a wonderful additional benefit.
The Glossary is NOT intended to be an authoritative reference document that
determines once and for all the only correct way to translate an English word or
phrase. While there are certainly many wrong and unacceptable ways to
translate a word or phrase, it is equally true that there is rarely only one correct
way to translate a word or phrase.
Note: The glossary has been formatted to show common terms in lowercase,
proper terms (such as Offenses, Acts, Titles, Names of Programs, etc. ) in mixed
case, and courthouse signs in uppercase.
