Part 1 Appendix (CPCITT) New Jersey Rules of Court, Part 1 Appendix (CPCITT): (CPCITT) Policy, rendered as code with every cross-reference linked

rule Part 1 Appendix (CPCITT) "(CPCITT) Policy" {
Many persons who come before the courts are partially or completely excluded from full participation in the proceedings either because English is not their native language or because they have a speech or hearing impairment. The resulting communication barrier must be removed, as far as is possible, so that those persons are placed in the same position as similarly situated persons for whom there is no such barrier. As officers of the court, interpreters, transliterators, and translators help ensure that such persons enjoy equal access to justice and that court proceedings and court support services function efficiently and effectively. Interpreters, transliterators, and translators are highly skilled professionals who fulfill an essential role in the administration of justice.
