Abstract: Morocco has Recently witnessed an increasing demand for legal translation services as a result of the establishment of various relations with many countries all over the world. These relations have given birth to partnerships and agreements in the public and private sectors. Such agreements and contracts used to be drafted either in French or Arabic. But recently, there has been a tendency to draft them in English as well. This article sets out to shed some light on the present situation of translation in Moroccan higher education institutions, the status of the translation profession in Morocco and the certification process of sworn translators, and finally, the perceptions and views of Moroccan sworn translators about the current challenges and future prospects of legal translation practice in Morocco.
