Rule 6-701 Scope and effective date.

These rules explain how Nebraska courts handle interpreters for people who need one, whether because they don't speak English well or have a hearing disability. The rules first took effect on September 20, 2000, and they apply to every court in the Nebraska Judicial Branch.

Since then, the rules have been updated a few times to keep them current. They were changed in 2003, given a new number and format in 2008, and updated again in 2024. If you're involved in a Nebraska court case and need an interpreter, these are the rules the court follows to make sure you get one.
