Frederick Cnty. Dist. Ct. CM - Civil Small Cases Case Management Plan D

Unless otherwise agreed by the clerk, all requests for

postponements should be accompanied by three (3) proposed dates when the attorneys

and parties are available. Counsel should attempt to contact opposing counsel, if possible,

to clear dates acceptable to both attorneys and parties. Civil cases are heard on Mondays

and Fridays.

Do You Need a Court Interpreter or Other Special

Accommodation?

The Maryland Judiciary provides court interpreters for hearings and proceedings conducted in

court, as well as certain court-related services and events, at no cost, for individuals who are parties

or witnesses in court proceedings.

Only court-appointed interpreters can serve as official interpreters in the courtroom. Your family

or friends cannot serve as official court interpreters. But, you can have your family members or

friends help you to communicate with the court staff outside the courtroom.

You should request an interpreter for your hearing 30 days before the court date, if possible.

Fill out a Request for Spoken Language Interpreter (CC-DC-041). If requesting a sign language

interpreter or other special accommodation, use the Request for Accommodation for Person with

Disability (CC-DC-049). You can also ask your attorney to fill out the form for you.

Submit the form to the Clerk's Office of the courthouse where your hearing is scheduled by mail or

in person.

If you are a party in the case, you only need to submit a single Interpreter Request Form. Once the

court receives your first timely request, the court will assign an interpreter for all proceedings at

which you are expected to appear. Other interested persons (victims and witnesses) must submit a

new Interpreter Request Form for each proceeding.
