    Just in case anyone is interested in following up, the special journal issue focusing on the "Bilingual, Bimodal Courtroom" which was mentioned by Ellen L. Contini-Morava (in connection with Deaf people's experiences in the legal system) will be an issue of the _Journal of Interpretation_ and not, as the original message noted, of _Sign Language Studies_.
