What does the day look like?
Most of the day is preparation, not live interpreting. At the Court of Justice of the European Union you refine interpreting skills on legal content under staff interpreters through file preparation, terminology research with case files, and practical exercises in a silent booth. At the Council of the European Union you prepare meetings and draft minutes, attend preparatory-body meetings, carry out research, collect and analyse data, help produce documents and publications, help organise events, and translate documents.
The named tools are the booth console and dual-track recording systems in university and institutional booths. Live interpreting is a small share of the day; preparation, terminology research, minutes and document work dominate. Hours follow the institution and the court calendar, with no published night-shift or on-call pattern for trainees. Hearings pause during judicial vacations, when booth practice and preparation fill the time.
