5. About Depositions

Commonly used in the law of the United States and Canada, depositions, also known in some states as Examinations Before Trials, are out-of court oral testimonies made by witnesses as a means of gathering information for later use in court or as part of the litigation discovery process. During the deposition, the witness/witnesses are asked questions by the litigators (attorneys) which they must answer under oath. No judge is present and the court is not involved in this process. The witness(es)’ testimony is recorded by either a stenographer or electronic recording device and may be called upon in court.

When a witness does not speak English as their first language, interpreters are required to bridge any communication difficulties. Given the vital importance of depositions in the litigation process, interpreters used in depositions must be experienced, professional and adhere to judicial protocol. They must have a thorough knowledge of “legalese” and any relevant industry terminology, as well as a thorough grasp of the nuances and idiosyncrasies of both languages as questions are often challenging and/or subtle. Due to the recent increase in non-English speaking witnesses, highly-skilled deposition interpreters are now even more in demand. TJC can guarantee deposition interpreters of the highest calibre, with many years experience in this type of work and the competence to ensure clarity, precision and utmost discretion.

6. About Kyoto

Kyoto, literally “capital city” was the capital of Japan for over 1000 years, and historically the country’s largest city. With a population of around 1.5 million, today it has only ranks 7th in the list of most populous Japanese cities, coming after Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo and Kobe. Situated in central Honshu – Japan’s largest island, Kyoto comprises a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Home to the erstwhile ruling palace of the Emperor of Japan, the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the city is known for its temples and religious buildings, of which there are around 2000, and is one of the best preserved cities in Japan. Its major industries are information technology and electronics.
