General information
New York is a diverse community of 62 counties with unique linguistic challenges. Aware of this reality, the NYS Unified Court System (UCS) remains committed to improve access to justice for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals so they may effectively participate in all aspects of the court. The New York State courts provide interpreting services for court users, at no expense to the person with limited English proficiency, regardless of their level of ability to communicate in the spoken English language.
