 | Austria.
AACI - Code
of Ethics. Code of ethics
for the Austrian Association of Certified Court Interpreters. English
version. Doesn't show a date of adoption. If the web link
doesn't work, the file is also saved

(for example, no "glaring advertisements..").

 | Iowa. Code
of Professional Conduct for Judicial Branch Interpreters. Adopted
November 1, 2004. This link used to go directly to the Iowa
Judiciary's website, but the link was broken as of February 2008 and we can
no longer find a copy posted on their site. We're not sure if that
means that the code was withdrawn or rescinded, but we've published the
version previously available here.
