Summary
Recommendation 67 of the Judicial Council’s Strategic Plan for Language Access in the California Courts states that the “California Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court of California should discuss and adopt applicable parts of [the] Language Access Plan [LAP] with necessary modifications.” The Language Access Plan Implementation Task Force and Judicial Council staff convened the Ad Hoc Working Group on Language Access in the Supreme Court and Appellate Courts, consisting of appellate court justices and appellate and supreme court staff, to identify LAP recommendations that would be suitable for adoption by the Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court. This update describes the group’s findings and next steps.
