If you speak limited or no English and are a party to a case (litigant, defendant, witness, parent, or legal custodian of a juvenile), you have a right to a court-appointed interpreter during court proceedings at no cost to you. Minn. Stat. § 480.182.

If you need a spoken language interpreter to assist during a scheduled hearing or trial, contact court administration at the court where you are scheduled to appear.

If you are deaf or hearing impaired, you have a right to an interpreter or other accommodation to assist with any communication at no cost to you. This right is a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Minn. Stat. § 363A.11.

Note: these procedures apply only to interpreters who are included on the Statewide Roster of Court Interpreters maintained by the State Court Administrator.
