California, the shortage so great, some court interpreters find work
without it. Sometimes, in certain cases, courts will use provisionally
qualified interpreters (non-certified, non-registered) especially for
things like arraignments, preliminary hearings and pretrial confer-

mentored by a Certified Court Interpreter.
