CIT Meets Your California Trial Requirements For Deaf or Hearing Impaired Person Interpreting

The need for an interpreter can be seen in any civil or criminal action, including traffic tickets. It may also occur when a juvenile court proceeding is being held and other alternatives to incarceration such as mediation are being used by police officers instead of jail time with rehabilitative programs like educational classes on parenting skills; all without the use of English so that communication isn't limited just because one party doesn't speak it fluently.

Under Cal. Evid. Code § 754, an interpreter must be appointed if a present and participating party or witness is unable to communicate fluently in the English language due to hearing impairment or linguistic limitations that affect speech comprehension; this does not include people who are able-bodied but wish their lawyer had assistance during questioning for personal preference reasons only - they can still choose whether or not want them!

We provide translation services for legal proceedings, so you can focus on more important matters.

We want to make sure that all parties involved in court cases have access and understanding of what is happening around them without worrying about language barriers or miscommunications because our team will take care of everything from start to finish!

The requirement of an interpreter applies in (a) any civil or criminal action, including an action involving traffic or other infraction, a juvenile court proceeding, a small claims court proceeding, a family court proceeding or service, or a proceeding to determine mental competency; (b) a court-ordered or court-provided alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration; and (c) an administrative hearing.

Under Cal. Evid. Code § 754(d), an “interpreter” includes an “oral interpreter, a sign language interpreter, or a deaf-blind interpreter, depending upon the needs of the individual who is deaf or hearing impaired.” Pursuant to Cal. Evid. Code § 755(f), the interpreter must be “qualified”, as in “certified as competent to interpret court proceedings by a testing organization, agency, or educational institution approved by the Judicial Council as qualified to administer tests to court interpreters for individuals who are deaf or hearing-impaired.”

Our Pledge

Your translated legal document will be accompanied by a signed statement attesting that the translation is accurate and complete to the best of the translator’s knowledge and ability.

CIT’s certification page attests to the accuracy and completion of the legal translation services based on either a copy of the original document or the original itself. The page also affirms that the translator of the record is qualified and competent to translate.

The certificate of translation comes with our corporate seal and the signature of a project manager. When you work with us, you will get perfect legal translations every time.
