Court Access Committee expands video resources, VRI policy and explores AI for language access
Summary
The Court Access Committee reported new public and staff video series, publication of the revised 'Can We Help You?' staff guide, expansion of a Bilingual Staff Program, and increased Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) use; the committee said it is exploring Generative AI to help revise the Language Access Plan.
Judge Michael W. Siri and Pamela Ortiz presented the Court Access Committee’s work to the Council. The Committee produced two 5-part public video series (Appealing to the Appellate Court of Maryland; Standby Guardianship) and a 5-part internal series (Language Services Toolkit). The revised staff guide 'Can We Help You? A Guide for Maryland Judiciary Court Staff' is now available online and in print.
The committee said the Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) Policy has increased VRI use in courtrooms, expanding access while reducing costs. Ortiz said the Committee is exploring multiple approaches to revising the Language Access Plan, including possible use of Generative AI to increase accessibility.
