The Americans with Disabilities Act does not apply to the federal judiciary. However, pursuant to United States Judicial Conference policy, the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming provides reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities, including communication related disabilities.
 
“Each federal court is required to provide, at judiciary expense, sign language interpreters or other appropriate auxiliary aids and services to participants in federal court proceedings who are deaf, hearing-impaired, or have other communications disabilities.”
 
The court will also provide a sign language interpreter or other appropriate auxiliary aid or service to a qualified juror with a communication related disability.
 
If you are a participant in a court proceeding and you believe you will require assistive listening technology, access to CART (Communications Access Real-time Translation) or an American Sign Language interpreter, please contact the Access Coordinator, Cherish Ross, at access@wyd.uscourts.gov. Please provide notice at least 30 days prior to the court hearing for Interpreters and at least 7 days prior to the court hearing for CART services.
 
If you have been called for jury duty and believe you will require assistive listening technology, access to CART (Communications Access Real-time Translation) or an American Sign Language interpreter, please contact the jury coordinator where you will be reporting for jury duty. Advance notice is appreciated.
