Directory of Certified Court and Justice System Interpreters

Justice System Interpreters:

  • Spoken Language Justice System Interpreters (JSIs) may be assigned if no Certified Court Interpreter is available. Spoken language JSIs may not interpret for jurors.
  • Signed Language Justice System Interpreters may be assigned if no Certified Court Interpreter is available. Signed language JSIs may interpret for jurors.
