--------ok here it is...
"A Manual and Dictionary of Legal Terms for Interpreters for the Deaf"
     -developed and compiled by Agnes T. Foret and Mildred J. Petrowske
        Center for the Administration of Justice
        Wayne State University Law School, Detroit, Michigan

Inside the front cover it says:
"This manual was made possible by a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance
 Administration to the
Center for the Administration of Justice, Wayne State University, and was
 prepared through the
cooperative efforts of the Center for the Administration of Justice and the
 Registry of Interpreters
for the Deaf."

In the foreword section it states that folks got together on October 1974, and
 again in June, 1975, so
I would assume that 1975 would be the approximate date the book was published.

Although the year is "dated", the manual is still pretty darn good.  Good luck
 in finding it.  I
called every possible contact to see if it was still published.  No avail.  If
 anyone does find a site
that publishes these, pleeeeaase let me know.  I need extra copies.   -K
