Remote hearings
Video interpreters for court hearings, from status conferences to family court and small claims
Parties and attorneys book a video interpreter for the hearings below. The court may appoint its own interpreter for the record, so a party's booking is for the talk with their attorney, or for a hearing where the court lets a party bring one.
Status conferences
Judges hold status conferences to check on a case and set the next dates. Send the case name and the party's name, so the interpreter has them before the judge calls the case.
Motion hearings
Attorneys argue a motion, and the judge may ask the party questions. Add the motion papers to the booking notes, so the interpreter can read the terms before the hearing.
Family court hearings
Custody and support hearings involve parents who need to follow everything the judge and the other side say. The interpreter interprets it all, so nobody has to rely on a relative or a child to explain.
Small claims
Parties in small claims often speak for themselves, without an attorney. Tell us the court when you book, because it decides whether to appoint an interpreter or let a party bring one.
Video court hearings
What to know about court hearings with a video interpreter
When video is used
Many courts hold status conferences, motion hearings and some family and small claims hearings by video, and the judge or the court's rules decide which ones. Everyone joins the court's link from their own location, and your client can join from home or from your office as the court allows. When no interpreter for the language works near the courthouse, video lets us assign one from anywhere in the US.
Who takes part
The judge runs the hearing and makes the rulings. The clerk calls the case and keeps the court's record. Attorneys speak for their clients, and the party, or a witness the judge calls, answers the judge's questions. When one of them speaks another language, an interpreter joins the call as a guest.

The interpreter's role
For your client, the interpreter makes the hearing as clear as it is for everyone who speaks English. Statements by the judge and the attorneys are interpreted in full, and your client's answers are interpreted into English for the record, in the first person. The interpreter stays neutral, gives no advice and keeps everything confidential.

The court's link
Remote hearings run on the platform the court names, and the court sends the link. Add it to your booking in the dashboard as soon as you have it, together with the case name and the names of the people who will speak. A Texliff room link works for your own calls with your client, but the hearing itself runs on the court's platform.

Questions about video interpreters for court hearings
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Can the interpreter also join my call with the client before the hearing?
Yes. Book the call as its own session, on your own link or a Texliff room link. Ask for the same interpreter, and we assign them when they are available.
02Does the interpreter need to be court-certified?
Most state courts require a certified or registered court interpreter for proceedings on the record. We assign a court-certified interpreter, and you see the name and credentials before the hearing.
03Can you interpret a hearing in a court in another state?
Yes. Our video interpreters join from anywhere in the US, so the court's location does not limit who we can assign.
04What if the court moves or cancels the hearing?
Cancellation is in writing. You get a full refund more than seven days before the hearing, 75% between seven days and 48 hours before, and no refund once it is 48 hours or less before.
05How is a video court hearing priced?
It is priced by the hour for the hours you book, and you see the total before you pay. Unused time is not refunded, so book the time the court has set aside, plus some extra for a talk with your client.
06Which languages can you interpret in court hearings by video?
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic and Haitian Creole are the easiest to schedule, and rare languages such as Burmese or Pashto need more notice.
07Are your Punjabi interpreters certified?
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Punjabi interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
