About this report
People with limited English proficiency are among the most likely to need help in California's courts and the least likely to get it. Building on the Commission's finding that 72 percent of the legal needs of low-income families go unmet, this report examines the scope and impact of language barriers in the justice system.
It recommends ways to improve services for people with limited English proficiency, focusing on the courts while noting the role of legal services programs, lawyer referral services, law libraries, law schools, and bar associations.
