A Message from the Office of Court
Interpreters (OCI)
Welcome to the OCI website. Since 2004, our office of six (6) highly qualified
and experienced staff members have been dedicated to serving the public by
providing impartial, complete and accurate interpretation of all types of
interactions with the courts of Rhode Island.
The OCI is utilized for a variety of criminal and civil matters including:
arraignments, reviews, hearings, trials, and conferences for both parties and
witnesses in legal proceedings in all courts of the Rhode Island Judiciary at no
cost to court users. If you or someone you know needs a court interpreter either
call or email the OCI (interpreterfeedback@courts.ri.gov)
before your scheduled court appearance, or inform the clerk or the sheriff in
the courtroom as soon as you arrive. If the OCI does not have a staff
interpreter available at that time, an alternative interpreter will be provided
as soon as possible at no cost to you.
Equal
access to justice is a right. The OCI is here to offer impartial, complete, and
accurate interpretation of all court proceedings. For more information about the
OCI, see our Frequently Asked Questions and Code of Ethics.
If you
have any comments or would like to submit a complaint, please email us at
interpreterfeedback@courts.ri.gov.
