Exam Rating Services for Other Than Spanish Interpreter Certification Exams

Description

The Judicial Council of California (“Judicial Council or JCC”) is the policymaking body of the California court system, which includes 58 superior courts, the courts of appeal, and the Supreme Court. Under the authority of the state’s Constitution and with the leadership of the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, the Judicial Council is responsible for ensuring the fair, impartial, and consistent administration of justice. The Judicial Council promulgates rules and procedures for court administration, develops and implements policies for the judicial branch, and makes recommendations annually to the Governor and the Legislature. Judicial Council staff assist the Judicial Council with implementing policies and supporting court operations.

The Judicial Council’s Center for Families, Children, and the Courts (CFCC) houses the Language Access Services Program. The Language Access Services Program is comprised of two units: Language Access Implementation (LAI) and Court Interpreters Program (CIP). The LAI works to ensure language access for all Limited English Proficient (LEP) court users in California in all 58 superior courts. The CIP oversees the court interpreter testing and credentialing process for statewide certification of court interpreters, along with administrative functions such as statewide recruitment to expand the pool of qualified interpreters and the collection and analysis of statewide data.

The Judicial Council of California requests proposals from one or more experienced vendors with a proven track record to provide rater and scoring services for certified languages, specifically those designated as Other Than Spanish (OTS).
