Providing Cultural and Sign Language Interpretation Support
Language Interpreters
The Office of the Court Administrator provides language interpreters who support Judges, attorneys, and litigants during hearings, trials, and other court proceedings. Court Administration uses both on-site and outside language interpreters to meet the high demands of requests for language interpreters. In 2013, the Court received over 1,200 requests for language interpreters. Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, and Hindi were just a few of the languages needing an Interpreter for court proceedings in 2013.
Language services can currently be requested by filling out the Emergency Interpreter Request Form and submitting via email to SCA.Interpreters@fultonountyga.gov. Complete each section of the Emergency Interpreter Request Form to ensure no delays in processing.
Sign Language Interpreters
The Court coordinates with the Fulton County's Division of Equal Employment Opportunity and Disability Affairs for sign language interpreters needed for court proceedings. Please follow the same instructions for requesting a sign language Interpreter as you would for requesting a cultural language Interpreter by accessing the Emergency Interpreter Request Form and selecting "American Sign Language" from the drop-down box. Please e-mail the form to sca.interpreters@fultoncountyga.gov.
