Spanish Interpreter Job

"Nevada needs court interpreters. See if you qualify

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An urgent need for qualified court interpreters exists in Nevada as the demand for language services grows.

Nevada courts handled more than 3,100 cases in 2024 that relied on interpreters to help participants understand and engage in legal proceedings, according to a Tuesday news release.

The Supreme Court of Nevada invites bilingual individuals to explore opportunities in the justice system as certified court interpreters. Registration for the Fall 2025 Certified Court Interpreter Exam is now open. The deadline to register for the Oct. 20 exam is approaching: Sept. 22.

The most requested languages last year were Spanish, Tagalog, Cantonese and Vietnamese. Court officials said Nevada had only 79 certified Spanish court interpreters, with an urgent need for more.

“Court interpreters make the justice system accessible for thousands of Nevadans,” Amanda Walker, Language Access Program administrator, said. “We’re asking bilingual residents to be part of this essential public service.”

Interpreters licensed in other states may be eligible.

Oral exams are scheduled in Las Vegas (Nov. 3-7) and in Carson City (Nov. 10, Nov. 12). Written exams are scheduled on Nov. 7 in Las Vegas and Nov. 10 in Carson City. Find more information and a self-assessment tool online to evaluate your readiness before registering.

To become a certified court interpreter in Nevada, applicants must complete an online Written Orientation Workshop, available mid-July. This virtual workshop introduces candidates to Nevada’s judicial system, court interpreting standards, and interpreter ethics.

Applicants must also pass the written exam with a minimum score of 80 percent. The test is two hours and 15 minutes long and includes 135 multiple-choice questions that cover language proficiency, legal terminology, and professional conduct." by: Greg Haas Posted: Jul 15, 2025 / 11:56 AM PDT Updated: Jul 15, 2025 / 11:56 AM PDT https://lnkd.in/ehyE5G5f #metaglossia_mundus
