National Interpreter Appreciation Day is May 7th
National Interpreter Appreciation Day recognizes the essential role interpreters play in facilitating communication among individuals who speak different languages or use alternative communication methods, such as sign language. Interpreter partners of the Nebraska Judicial Branch serve a critical role in ensuring access to vital services, enabling meaningful participation in judicial processes, and fostering effective interactions. This occasion provides an opportunity to express appreciation for the expertise, dedication, and contributions of interpreters across the state's court and probation settings. It also highlights their significant role in ensuring equal access to justice, regardless of language or communication mode.
