“As the Spanish-speaking population in the county has increased, so has the demand for people to translate for them in District and Circuit courts.

In 2005, Spanish-speaking interpreters were used in Washington County District Court 71 times and in Washington County Circuit Court 30 times, according to Sandy Gladhill, District Court administrative assistant, and Eunice Plank, Circuit Court administrator for Washington, Allegany and Garrett counties.

In 2000, Spanish-speaking interpreters were used in District Court maybe once every other week, but now they are used at least once a week, Gladhill said.”
