The administrative authority, with assistance from local ADA coordinator, Jury Commissioner and State Court Administrator’s Office Human Resources or Legal Divisions, decides what reasonable accommodation can be made. Primary consideration is given to the request of the individual with the disability, however, an alternative accommodation may be offered if equally effective. The court is not required to make modifications that would fundamentally alter the service or program or cause undue administrative or financial burden. When evaluating a request, resources available are to be considered at the local level as well as at the Judicial Department level. With respect to court facilities, the court is not required to make every existing facility accessible so long as there is accessibility to the particular service or program. For example, the court does not have to make every courtroom accessible if the particular proceeding can be held in an accessible room.
Auxiliary aids and services necessary for effective communication or to enable participation in services, other than devices of a personal nature, are to be provided at no cost to the person with the disability. The court or probation department is responsible for providing and paying the incurred costs, with the exception of the appointment of an interpreter for a deaf or hard of hearing person provided by the Department of Human Services pursuant to section 13-90-204(1), C.R.S.
Each judicial district has a local ADA Coordinator or Jury Commissioner who is responsible for arranging reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. You can access the link ADA Coordinators or Jury Commissioners for a listing for each judicial district. Accommodation requests should be submitted to the local ADA Coordinator or Jury Commissioner by accessing the ADA Online Request form.
The request should identify the particular court program or service for which accommodation is sought, the date, time and location where the accommodation is needed, a description of the disability and the type of accommodation being requested. All requests for an accommodation will be held confidential.
Reasonable notice must be given to consider an accommodation request without causing undue disruption to the court proceeding. If the request relates to a jury summons, the individual should contact the Jury Commissioner as far in advance as possible by contacting the person indicated on the summons or listed on the Judicial Department’s website at Jury Commissioners.
If the request concerns a particular court proceeding, the request should be made a minimum of five days in advance, if practicable, to allow for consideration of the request and to arrange for reasonable accommodation.
