Webinar: Answering the Call – Celebrating a Decade Advancing Language Access in State Courts, Mapping Our Path to the Next Horizon

October 26th, 2023

Language access in state and local courts has come a long way in the ten years since the publication of A National Call to Action. Our community of judges, court staff, court administrators, interpreters, advocates, LEP court patrons, and other stakeholders have learned many lessons and racked up many wins along the way.

This webinar will be an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made together and showcase the importance of efforts to expand language access in state and local courts.

It will also kick off what we intend to be a series of dialogues geared toward creating a shared vision for where we are headed over the next ten years. Together, we will identify ways to build on our collective success by deploying strategic collaboration and thoughtful innovation to ensure our courts are welcoming and responsive to the needs of our diverse communities.
