Rule 21 Interpreter Services

If you need an interpreter for your foreclosure mediation, you have to arrange it yourself ahead of time. Contact the District Court staff at least 21 days before your mediation date to request one.

The court keeps a list of interpreters who are qualified to work in these mediations. Once you make your request, the court picks the interpreter from that list and lets the mediator know who has been assigned before the mediation takes place. You don't need to find your own interpreter or worry about their qualifications, but you do need to give enough advance notice so the court has time to set it up.
