A word about certification. In California, a “court certified interpreter” refers to one
who has passed the written and oral phases of the certification exams given by the Judicial Council of California, as well
as completed other administrative requirements. It is NOT medical certification, which is through agencies other than the Judicial Council. Before Caroline Carrera became certified in 2010, no one has been certified
for the Tagalog language since 1998. As of 2022, there are FOUR Tagalog interpreters who are certified by the Judicial Council of California. |
| |
| |
State law deems Certified Court Interpreters qualified as Administrative
Hearing Interpreters and Medical Interpreters (Gov. Code sections 11435.30 and 11435.35) |
