Type: 
Common FAQ
Answer: 

It is the policy of this Court to provide reasonable accommodations to persons with communications disabilities. Specifically, the Court can provide sign language interpreters, listening assistance devices, and computer-assisted real-time translation (“CART”) services to participants (including parties, attorneys, witnesses and jurors) in federal court proceedings who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or have other communicative disabilities. The Court affords primary consideration to a participant’s choice of one of these services.

Please submit all requests for services via email to accessibility@njd.uscourts.gov. If you are unable to submit the request by email, you may call Court Services at: 973-645-4621. Note:  A copy of the Accessibility Handbook for District of New Jersey can be found below.
