Social Justice Lawyering Clinic (SLJC) students David Baldwin (\u201922) and Livia Luan (\u201923) created a survey tool for attorneys to capture their experiences with limited English proficient (LEP) persons in the Pennsylvania courts. This tool was created as part of a statewide advocacy effort to ensure that LEP litigants, victims, and witness have a right to an interpreter in the Pennsylvania courts. This fall, law schools across the state will launch a survey with local community groups created by the same SJLC team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any attorneys who have experience with LEP persons in the Pennsylvania courts, please take the survey here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Pennsylvania issued a statewide language access plan<\/a> in response to the systemic failure of Pennsylvania courts to provide interpreters to limited English proficient (LEP) persons. Such failures were previously documented by SJLC students in their reports Unfinished Business: The Continuing Challenge for Limited English Proficient Individuals in Pennsylvania\u2019s Minor Courts<\/a>  and Barriers to Justice for Non-English Speakers in the Pennsylvania Courts<\/a>. In collaboration with the coalition, this new work by SJLC is intended to assess the how the courts are faring with the new statewide language access plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
