About us

Development of this program was made possible by a major grant awarded to the College of Charleston by the State Justice Institute. An advisory board of judges, court administrators and professional interpreters, together with a number of consultants, provided guided input during the initial development of the curriculum.

Since then, a commendation of Excellence was awarded to the Program. It has also been featured in numerous articles regarding the need for highly qualified interpreters.

"The program fills a very real void of great importance for people who have difficulty with a legal system that is very new to them, not only in South Carolina, but indeed throughout the nation."
South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, November 2001
