You can ask for an interpreter by informing the clerk’s office in the division in which your case is pending or by completing an interpreter request form online at Language Access Services. You may also submit an email request to interpreters [at] dcsc.gov. In your request, please include the following information: case name, case number, language requested, date and time of hearing, courtroom location, WebEx link (if applicable), estimated duration of the event, name of the person needing an interpreter, and their role in the case. You may request an interpreter for yourself, another party to the case, or for a witness who will testify in your case. Please make sure to request an interpreter as soon as you know you need an interpreter and as far in advance of your trial or hearing as possible to ensure the availability of an interpreter.
