If you or someone you know will need an interpreter for an upcoming court hearing, contact the court that is holding the hearing using the contact information found at the County Courthouse Directory. Please make sure to submit your request as soon as possible before the hearing date or the hearing may have to be postponed.
The Idaho Courts rely heavily on an interpreter’s skills, performance and integrity in his or her duties, regardless of whether or not the interpreter is certified. If you feel that an interpreter’s performance is inconsistent with the Idaho Code of Professional Responsibilities for Interpreters in the Judiciary, state law, Supreme Court rule or order or administrative policy, please complete the enclosed form. The Language Access Office takes all complaints against interpreters seriously. Your complaint will be given full attention and will be resolved as quickly as possible. If you have any questions, please contact the Language Access Office at (208) 947-7554 or fill out this website form, and we will be happy to assist you!
