For sign language interpreters only: If a person with limited English proficiency due to a disability is part of a jury panel, the court shall appoint a qualified interpreter for that person. §§885.38(1)(b)(2), 885.38(3)(c).

If I am appointed as an interpreter for a juror, I also swear [or affirm] that I will not participate personally in the jury’s deliberations, nor make any comment about my personal recollections of the evidence or my opinions about the outcome of this case. I will not disclose or comment upon anything that I hear in jury deliberations unless ordered to do so by the court.
