Notes of Advisory Committee on Proposed RulesThe rule implements Rule 43(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule 28(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, both of which contain provisions for the appointment and compensation of interpreters.
Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules—1987 AmendmentThe amendment is technical. No substantive change is intended.
Committee Notes on Rules—2011 AmendmentThe language of Rule 604 has been amended as part of the restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.
