Court Interpreters Program (CIP)
The Court Interpreters Program (CIP) seeks to improve court interpreter services and administration to ensure that courts provide qualified interpreters to deaf, hard-of-hearing, and non-English-speaking persons. The services provided by this program extend to spoken and sign language interpreter recruitment, certification, education, and discipline.
The program staffs the Judicial Council’s Court Interpreters Advisory Panel, which is mandated by statute to assist the Judicial Council with the advancement of language access to the courts. The panel makes recommendations to the council on policies and procedures including but not limited to interpreter use and need, certification, registration, and professional conduct.
The Judicial Council is required to report to the California State Legislature on the use of interpreter services in the courts. These reports are available on the Reports and Publications Web site.
