INFO

Court protocols provide for justice partners to communicate participants’ language-access needs to appropriate court staff, with court-responsibility services reported as early as possible.

To ensure the earliest possible identification of the need for language access services, the Yakima County Superior Court has established internal protocols with the various justice partners which routinely interact with this court for these partners to communicate to the appropriate court staff the needs of LEP or D/HH/DB participants who will interact with the court. While justice partners themselves may be under separate legal obligation to provide language access services to their clients, the court will be notified of any services that fall under the responsibility of the court as early as possible so services may be provided in a timely and efficient manner.
