Interpreter Services In the Courtroom To ask for an interpreter for your hearing, fill out the MC-300e&s Interpreter Request and give the completed form to any window clerk or courtroom clerk. Alternatively, you can email the completed form to Interpreter Services at intrps@contracosta.courts.ca.gov. The Court will make every effort to provide a qualified interpreter for all the court hearings. NOTE: You will need to submit a new form for each new hearing. Please make your request for an interpreter as soon as possible. If you wait until your court date, you may have to wait until an interpreter can be contacted or your matter may be continued to a later date. The Court will provide a state certified or state registered interpreter. Because there is a shortage of certified/registered interpreters statewide, the court may sometimes provide a provisionally qualified interpreter (non-certified, non-registered). If no interpreter is available at the time of your hearing, your case may be continued. Please note: Interpreters do not help parties fill out or file their forms. What if I need an interpreter that speaks sign language? The court will provide you with a sign language interpreter for any court proceeding you may have. The court will also provide you with a sign language interpreter if you are called for jury duty. Please tell a clerk at the counter or in the courtroom as soon as possible if you will need a sign language interpreter. For more information on this and other Access and Accommodation needs please visit the American with Disabilities (ADA) page. How do I provide comments or suggestions to the court? Comment cards are available in every court location in English and Spanish. You may complete a comment card, include a note that you would like to be contacted by the Language Access Representative, and give the completed card to any clerk, or drop it in any mailbox. Language Access Representative Our Court's Language Access Representative is the Interpreter Coordinator. You can contact the Interpreter Coordinator by email at: intrps@contracosta.courts.ca.gov or by telephone at (925) 608-2069. You may print the Language Access Services Comment Form and submit it to any court clerk or email it to the Court's Language Access Representative. The Contra Costa Superior Court is committed to providing language access for individuals who are unable to understand English. If you believe you have not been provided with reasonable or professional language access, please complete this form and submit it to any clerk at a public counter, via email, or by mail to the Court Interpreter Division. Telephone interpretation in many languages is available at our filing windows and during facilitator drop in hours. The Limited English Proficiency Plan describes language access services available at the Courts.
