This is an article about non-English speaking peoples and the courts. The wave of immigration currently taking place in America brings with it both confusion and problems for the new immigrant when confronted with our judicial system.
Abstract
The primary purpose of this article is to heighten the awareness of officials to the language problems faced by these new immigrants when interfacing with American courts. The article identifies areas of concern that should be addressed by administrators, planners, and judges involved in the delivery of court services to non-English speaking peoples.
