Information for Prospective Interpreters for the Courts

Interpreters looking to work with the Office of Court Interpreter Services must understand the organization's expected ethical standards.

The workshop and the ethics exam are a mandatory requirement for all active OCIS screened and certified Interpreters. Therefore, interpreters who didn’t participate in the previous workshop/exam period must register when it becomes available next time around. Only interpreters on the list of OCIS interpreters are eligible to attend the workshop.
