TIFTON — A few college professors will spend the summer taking a break from their regular duties, maybe relaxing with family and friends, or reading books that are not required for their classes. Rob Carpenter is not in that group. He will be in court.

For more than 15 years, Carpenter, an assistant professor of Spanish in the School of Arts and Sciences at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, has worked as an interpreter in the south Georgia court system to assist immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba and Puerto Rico during their day in court.
