Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Civil) 1.07
Interpreter for a Deaf or Hard of Hearing Juror
One of the jurors in this case is deaf or hard of hearing and has the right to be
accompanied by a court-appointed interpreter during the trial and deliberations.
When addressing the deaf or hard of hearing juror, you should speak directly to the
juror, and not to the interpreter. Although the interpreter is not a juror, and you may
not discuss the case with the interpreter, [he] [she] will keep strictly confidential all
matters discussed during deliberations. If you have reason to believe that the
interpreter is doing more than interpreting, let me know immediately by writing a
note and giving it to the [clerk] [bailiff] [deputy].
