 | | The Southern District of New York Interpreters Office coordinates the provision of interpreters and/or translators as needed by the District Court, Pretrial Services Agency, Probation Department or other arm of the court. |
 | | Pursuant to the Court Interpreter's Act (28 USC 1827), each federal court is required to provide, at judiciary expense, a certified or otherwise qualified interpreter in judicial proceedings instituted by the United States for a party who speaks only or primarily a language other than English. |
 | | In the event an interpreter works in one federal district in the morning and in another federal district or for a CJA attorney in the afternoon, the second half of the day must be billed at the second half-day rate, not the first half. |
