How to Request Interpreter Services
Who to contact:
If you need interpreter services (including ASL or CART) for a court hearing or trial because you are a Limited English Proficient (LEP) individual, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, or an attorney who represents either a LEP or a Deaf or Hard of Hearing individual, notify the court in which the case will be heard. Please visit the Hours & Locations section for a list of court locations.
When to contact:
To ensure that a request for interpreter services is timely provided, individuals or their attorneys if the individual is represented should make the request to the court fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled trial or hearing. Later notice may result in the trial or hearing being rescheduled until the requested interpreter services are secured.
