Meet Jim Harvill, court interpreter for Chelan County Superior Court. Jim's job is highly specialized. In fact, he's one of only four court-certified interpreters in Chelan and Douglas counties. Jim immersed himself in the language while living aboard in Japan, Spain and the Canary Islands. He provides language interpretation when people just may need it the most. And his job can be quite emotional. "It's up to us to keep it together because if we show too much emotion, or even break down, then that can be deemed as prejudicial," he explained. Learn more about Jim and the fascinating world of court interpretation by making a Chelan County Connection! @ChelanCountyGov
