    Over the last thirty years, there have been various and increasing efforts made to establish effective and consistent public service interpreting and translation. Good progress has been made but there are impasses. This paper attempts to stand back and look objectively at where, and more importantly how, we might proceed from here. This could be said to be a turning point for legal interpreting for two reasons. Firstly, enough time has elapsed for us to copy our scientific colleagues, who view the process of exploring and eliminating unsatisfactory approaches overtly, so that what does not work is recognised and discarded. Secondly, this process of exploration has enabled us to clarify and define what does work in order to focus our energies and take matters forward.A lo largo de estos 煤ltimos treinta a帽os se han producido diversos y crecientes esfuerzos para establecer unos servicios de traducci贸n e interpretaci贸n en los servicios p煤blicos que fuesen eficaces y coherentes. Aunque se han realizado importantes progresos, existe cierto estancamiento. Este art铆culo pretende alzar la vista y proporcionar una visi贸n objetiva sobre hacia d贸nde, pero sobre todo c贸mo se puede proceder a partir de este momento. Cabr铆a decir que la interpretaci贸n judicial se encuentra en un punto de inflexi贸n por dos razones. En primer lugar, ha transcurrido tiempo suficiente para ser capaces de imitar a nuestros colegas cient铆ficos, que abordan de manera abierta el proceso de evaluaci贸n y eliminaci贸n de planteamientos insatisfactorios, identificando y descartando lo que no funciona. En segundo lugar, este proceso de exploraci贸n nos ha permitido aclarar y definir lo que s铆 funciona con el fin de centrar bien nuestras energ铆as y avanzar
