'The Justice Department will continue to work tirelessly to ensure equal access to justice for all people, regardless of their language ability,' said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. 'We commend State Court Administrator Gerald Marroney and his staff for their dedicated, collaborative efforts to transform the delivery of language access services for the benefit of all.'

Following further negotiations, the court's Office of Language Access issued a comprehensive strategic plan in 2012 that defined 35 needed improvements to court policies, standards, infrastructure and training in order to support the court system's ability to deliver timely and appropriate language assistance statewide.
Earlier this year, the Colorado Judicial Department completed the work required by the plan. It also successfully complied with the monitoring requirements set forth in the memorandum of agreement, including further amending the Chief Justice Directive. Today, after the court system completed the conditions for termination of the agreement, the department officially closed the case.

- Revised standards for testing, classifying and disciplining court interpreters, and devised standards to promote hiring of bilingual customer service staff and determine their proficiency in other languages;
