Court Interpreter Program

The Court Interpreter Program supports the Minnesota Judicial Branch goal of ensuring that people who cannot speak English or are deaf or hard of hearing have equal access to participate in cases in Minnesota state courts.

Complaint Process

Minnesota's courts want to provide the best possible service to all individuals receiving interpreter services. The State Court Administrator’s Office has established a procedure for the filing of formal complaints about interpreter services and conducting formal complaint investigations.

These procedures apply only to interpreters who are included on the Statewide Roster of Court Interpreters maintained by the State Court Administrator. The interpreters on the roster include certified and non-certified interpreters who have passed the Ethics Examination administered by the State Court Administrator and who have filed with the State Court Administrator a written affidavit agreeing to be bound by the Code of Professional Responsibility for Court Interpreters in the Minnesota state court system.

Enforcement Procedure for the Code of Professional Responsibility for Court Interpreters.

Complaints can be submitted using the Court Interpreter Complaint Form and mailed or delivered to the following address:

Minnesota Court Interpreter Program

Court Services, Suite 150 25

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

St. Paul, MN 55155 

Complaints can also be submitted to the Court Interpreter Program via the Feedback page or by calling the office directly at (651) 297-5300 to request an alternate way to submit a complaint.
