Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

In 'Beyond Reasonable Doubt', N Sivanandan, one of the longest-serving interpreters in Singapore's judiciary, gives an insight into the work of a court interpreter. Here are interesting cases that show what it is like standing next to the witness box and giving voice to the witness or litigant in a courtroom filled with their loved ones, judges, prosecuting officers and defence laywers. This collection of experiences is enlivened by personal stories of the men on the bench, and life in the early days when the courts were situated in different areas and travelling between courts was itself an experience.
