Language Interpreters

The court system provides foreign language interpreters and sign interpreters for non-English speaking persons and those who are hearing impaired, free of charge, to ensure that parties can clearly understand proceedings and are able to effectively participate in court programs and services.

To provide interpreters when and where they are needed, it is important that the request for an interpreter be communicated to the court as early as possible. A litigant or his/her attorney may notify the Buffalo City Court Chief Clerk’s Office of the need for an interpreter, and the specific language or dialect being requested. Advance notice of the need for language services will help to prevent delays.
