Accommodations Request

The Court of Appeals (“COA”) will make all reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of COA programs, services and activities.

General Request for Accommodation at the COA

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a service, program, or activity of the COA should contact the ADA Coordinator at 505-841-6148 or by email at ada.coa@nmcourts.gov as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.

Requesting an Accommodation by a Party to a Case at COA

Counsel or self-represented litigants may notify the Clerk of the Court of the nature of the disability by submitting an ADA Accommodations Request Form at least five (5) business days before any hearing so appropriate accommodations may be made.
