Language Access: the Justice Index

This Blog as Filing Cabinet Item is about language access in our nation's courts comes from the Cardozo School of Law. The link includes what looks like a very nice visualization tool which SOUNDS functional even for screen reader users such as RantWoman. Whether or not RantWoman has the cognitive patience to try to digest the results with a screen reader rather than more human help is a different problem, but the resource looks really interesting.

"More than 25 million people in the United States have limited proficiency in the English language. While many of these people use English at work and in their daily lives, understanding what happens in a courtroom can be more difficult. Many others have less facility with English and are lost in telling their story - whether inside the courtroom or speaking with court clerks - without the support of a trained and qualified interpreter and without translation of official court documents."
