What are the requirements to interpret in the State Courts System in Florida?
There are no statewide regulations regarding the qualifications or employment of court interpreters. Individual circuit courts are currently responsible for determining the qualifications of interpreters who work in that circuit. Screening in the trial courts in Florida varies widely. Several circuits require Spanish and Haitian Creole interpreters to be tested before working in their courts, using a variety of testing instruments.
