What should I expect when using a telephonic court interpreter?

The telephonic interpreter will give a brief introduction at the beginning of the proceeding. If you are having difficulty hearing or understanding the interpreter, please notify the Court as soon as possible, even if you must interrupt the hearing. However, do not ask the interpreter to explain what was said. 

*Please mute your phones and reduce your background noise when using court interpreter.
