Navigating the Massachusetts Court System in a Language Other than English The Latest on the Law: Updates from the Boston Bar

Are you interested in language access in the Massachusetts Court System and how the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing population are being served? Do you have a client that is limited English proficient or a member of the deaf and hard of hearing community?  Have you ever had an opposing party who requires the assistance of a court interpreter and did not know how to properly communicate with the party? Did you know that translation and interpretation have two different meanings and should not be used interchangeably?  Are you interested in knowing how to request court interpreters for non-English speakers? 
If so, please join the Delivery of Legal Services Section for an informative training on how to work with court interpreters and individuals who require the assistance of court interpreters. Most lawyers are unfamiliar with how to work with court interpreters, or the rules of professional conduct associated with them. This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge.
