Language Access to Justice for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals continues to present a number of challenges. The following survey aims to elucidate such challenges as well as the efforts undertaken thus far by state and federal governments, other government agencies and private associations in an attempt to meet the growing demand of providing satisfactory language services to LEP individuals. The results of the survey will be published in a book commissioned by the ABA.
If you are an eligible or a certified interpreter, your participation would be greatly appreciated!
