The Language of Justice: Carl Gene Fordham on Interpretation, Fairness and the Courts
Episode 2
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
Interpreters play a critical role in ensuring meaningful access to justice for people who speak languages other than English. In the latest episode of The Callover, Brisbane-based court interpreter and forensic translator Carl Gene Fordham sat down with host Georgia Athanasellis to talk about the realities of interpreting in legal settings. Their discussion shed light on the often-unseen role and explores when and how lawyers should engage interpreters, the practical realities of working with clients with limited English, and the challenges that can affect accuracy and fairness in legal proceedings.
