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.

Court Interpreter Roster

When you conduct an interpreter search, you will first be directed to the screen of certified interpreters. To view the non-certified interpreters, click the appropriate button at the bottom of that screen. Please note that there are currently certified court interpreters in the following foreign languages: Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Russian, Vietnamese, Mandarin, French, Portuguese and Lao.

Understanding the Roster

A telephone symbol to the right of the person's name on the roster indicates the interpreter has completed basic remote interpreting education programs.

All Sign Language interpreters on the roster hold a certification. However, when searching for interpreters, you will first be prompted to a screen demonstrating those with a legal certification. Other interpreters can be found by using the "View Generalist Certified Interpreters" button at the bottom of the screen. An ITV icon to the right of the person's name indicates the ASL interpreter has completed the video remote interpreting (VRI) training.
