We are increasingly facing the need and responsibility to provide legal and court services that are linguistically accessible to those we serve. In this session, we will discuss current trends and language access policies throughout the country and  share resources for developing and updating your language access strategies and advocating for continued support to provide language access services in legal and court settings. We will also discuss practical approaches to addressing the language needs of your limited-English speaking clients and customers, including the use of interpreters, bilingual professionals, volunteers, audio-visual projects, and machine translation.
