This article focuses on the implementation of a new transcultural law clinic that will offer supervised translating/interpreting services to persons who do not speak the language and are suspected or accused of a crime. The clinic was implemented as part of the international project ‘TransLaw. Exploring Legal Interpreting Service Paths and Transcultural Law Clinics for persons suspected or accused of a crime’. The article covers the implementation and piloting phase of the Transcultural Law Clinic at the University of Maribor in Slovenia, which involved the cooperation of translating and interpreting students with law students. The results of this study support key suggestions that interpreters should be motivated to improve their expertise by improving their skills through self-reflective practices and via supports such as ongoing mentorship, training and professional development.
