About the Trial Court Office of Language Access

The Office of Language Access (OLA) was established on the premise that everyone in the state, regardless of their literacy or English proficiency, has the right to equal access to the courts, justice, and all court services and programs.

OLA recruits, screens, trains, and certifies and/or qualifies spoken language interpreters who provide interpretation services for court proceedings and related functions to make sure people have linguistic access at every step of the court process.
