American Sign Language; ASL Interpreter — Court Services

About the Role

BETA Systems International (BSI) holds a contract with the Clerk of the Court and Comptroller of Miami‑Dade County to provide American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services. We are building a bench of qualified interpreters to support court operations across three service groups: jury pool interpretation, non‑jury pool in‑person interpretation, and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI). Assignments are issued on an as‑needed basis.

• Provide ASL interpretation for court proceedings, jury pool sessions, public records requests, marriage license appointments, official swearing‑in ceremonies, and community outreach events.
• Deliver services in person at Miami‑Dade County Clerk locations or via VRI platform, depending on the assignment group.
• Arrive and sign in no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.
• Remain available for the full duration of each scheduled assignment, including extended hours when required.
• Provide confirmation of name and active certification to the contracting office within 48 hours of assignment notification.
• Coordinate with BSI scheduling staff to confirm availability and coverage for surge periods or extended assignments of eight hours or more.
• Maintain confidentiality of all proceedings and comply with applicable court protocols.

Certification is non‑negotiable. Candidates must hold one of the following active credentials issued by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID):

• National Interpreter Certification (NIC)
• Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI)

No other certification — state‑issued, organizational, or otherwise — meets the contract requirements. Expired credentials do not qualify. Candidates must submit a copy of their active RID certification with their application.

Experience interpreting in legal, judicial, or court settings is required. Interpreters must demonstrate proficiency in legal and court‑related terminology, including terminology used in jury proceedings and formal hearings.

• Prior experience supporting government or public‑sector clients
• Familiarity with VRI platforms and equipment
• Experience in settings requiring dual‑interpreter rotation for assignments exceeding two hours

BSI pays on a per‑assignment basis in accordance with contract billing schedules. Billable time starts at the scheduled assignment start time. Time worked beyond the scheduled period is billed in 15‑minute increments. Minimum billable durations apply per assignment group.
