Our Keynote –
We are excited to announce Anna Huberman will be present our keynote address:
A View from the Bench
How do we achieve good communication in the courtroom? Who is responsible for assuring the elective transmission
of information in the courts? The judge? The interpreter? The presenter’s unique background as an attorney, an
interpreter and now a limited jurisdiction judge will help unravel the skills, talent and insight required from all
participants in a court action, as well as identify the pitfalls of poor communication. This presentation will also touch
upon how different states provide (or not) for the availability and quality of court interpreters and interpretation services.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance in communication as it relates to meaningful access to justice for all people.
- Identify the role of the judge and the interpreter in facilitating language access.
- Examine the di!erent systems used in the selection of qualified interpreters for court.
Anna was born and raised in the Midwest but moved with her parents to Argentina as a teenager where she finished
high school and obtained a JD degree from the Universidad de Buenos Aires. As an adult, she moved back to the
United States with her husband and children. Her love of language and law came together in her 15-year career as a court interpreter
with the Maricopa County Superior Court. In 2012, a new justice court precinct was created in the West Valley. Drawing on her knowledge of
the law and language and her 15 years of experience in the courts in Maricopa County, Anna decided to run for the
position. She was re-elected to her third term in 2020. Judge Huberman is the current Presiding Judge of the
Maricopa County Justice Courts. She is also the past Arizona Justice of the Peace of the Year. Throughout her
time as a judge, Anna has been on and chaired numerous Justice Court and Supreme Court committees, workgroups
and commissions. She is also involved in training. She has presented as faculty in New Judge Orientation, the Judicial
Conference, the Justice of the Peace Conference, and other conferences and trainings. Judge Huberman also serves as
a mentor judge. Most recently, she was member of the Task Force on Jury Data, Collections and Procedure and the
COVID-19 Continuity of Court Operations During a Public Health Emergency Workgroup (known as the Plan B
Workgroup). Chief Justice Robert Brutinel appointed Judge Huberman to the Arizona Judicial Council as of July 1,
2022.
