The Committee to Study Interpreter Issues in the Arizona Courts was formed by the Administrative Order 2002-34. The resulting report of this committee's work, Report to the Arizona Judicial Council on Interpreter Issues in Arizona Courts was presented to the Arizona Judicial Council in October 2002. The report responded to the request that the committee:
-
review the Interpreter Need and Practice: Study and Recommendations prepared by the Arizona Minority Judges Caucus, Interpreter Issues Committee;
-
consider how to increase the availability and the quality of language interpreting in Arizona courts; and
-
develop recommendations on funding needs, a strategy to secure needed funding and recommendations for any legislative, policy and court rule changes or additions.
In response to this committee's recommendations to the Arizona Judicial Council (AJC), the Chief Justice signed Administrative Order 2003-05 to establish the Arizona Court Interpreter Funding Committee as an advisory committee.
