Will the U.S. Bankruptcy Court provide and pay for an interpreter for me?
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court has adopted procedures for providing auxiliary aid and services to participants in court proceedings who are hearing impaired or have other physical or communication disabilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Please contact the Clerk’s Office at 720-904-7302 for assistance in this regard; the Clerk’s Office would appreciate at least two weeks advance notice of the need for an interpreter. (If you need similar assistance for the Meeting of Creditors held before a trustee, please contact the United States Trustee’s Office at 303-312-7230.) If you require a language interpreter in a hearing or trial held before a U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge, the court will pay for this service in matters where the United States is the plaintiff or movant. Please contact the Clerk’s Office at 720-904-7302 for assistance in this regard. In all other circumstances, it is not the obligation of the Court to pay for or to provide an interpreter.
