Interpreters

Welcome to the Office of Court Interpreters (OCI) homepage. The OCI serves the court and the public by interpreting legal proceedings accurately and impartially. The OCI is guided by the principle that all people, including those with limited English proficiency (LEP), should have equal access to justice. The OCI coordinates the provision of court interpreters for limited English proficient (LEP) parties at no cost to court users. 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.​
