The Circuit Court of Cook County provides accessibility services to ensure that everyone — regardless of needs or ability — gets fair access to everything they require to easily participate in court events.
The Court is committed to providing persons with disabilities with reasonable and appropriate accommodations consistent with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other state and federal laws. All Cook County court facilities are ADA-compliant, and the website is regularly monitored to ensure digital accessibility.
The court has several Accessibility Coordinators who assist people with disabilities involved in court proceedings, such as jurors, witnesses, litigants, lawyers, and court observers. This means providing services like sign language interpreters, devices for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, live captioning during events, and more.
For all foreign language translation needs, please contact the Interpreter Services Department.

The court ensures that every courthouse follows accessibility rules and also maintains additional special accommodations, like Lactation Rooms for nursing parents and Children's Rooms for court participants who require childcare to participate in court activities.
Note: Location-specific details for both of these services can be found on Courthouse Location pages.
