Description
The U.S. legal system has historically marginalized communities with limited English proficiency. For crime victims within those communities, access to holistic legal services requires culturally responsive language access services.
This session discusses language access barriers Native American victims and tribal communities encounter and highlights ways to overcome them.
Through this lens, the presenter and participants will discuss how legal resources and remedies are conveyed to and evaluated with crime victims across languages and cultures.
