Answer
The federal courts do not have the resources to provide free interpreters for litigants in civil cases. To conduct business at the Court, you should have a trusted family member or friend assist you by interpreting for you. If you are scheduled to appear before the Judge, you should write a letter to the judge beforehand to ask permission to bring an interpreter with you. At your first opportunity at the proceeding before the Judge, you should introduce your interpreter by name, and relationship to you, so that the Court as well as your defendants will understand who is standing next to you in the courtroom.
