While sources of potential federal funding are described below, each state should invest its own resources to ensure its courts are providing limited English proficient (LEP) individuals meaningful access to all in court proceedings and court operations. Dispensing justice fairly, efficiently, and accurately is an obligation of every state.

The charts below describe federal funding opportunities that may be available to state and local courts to provide language assistance services to LEP individuals. Each chart includes the name of the federal agency providing the funding, the program name, whether state courts are eligible, whether the funding can be used to provide language assistance services, and the location for more information about the program and past recipients. Questions about funding and program eligibility should be directed to the appropriate federal agency.
