We often rely upon interpreters and translators in our legal services work. But are we doing it right? We will review how to provide culturally competent and meaningful language access for clients with limited English proficiency and effective communication for people with disabilities, identify when a certified interpreter or translator is required, provide a primer on commonly used assistive technologies, and explain the scenarios when you may rely on AI translation tools.
