Legal: When Clarity Facilitates Justice for All
LATN serves an essential role in the administration of justice by providing interpreters and translators wherever they are needed to assist limited and non-English speakers and the Deaf or hard of hearing.
In legal settings, having an accurate interpretation of a situation is extremely important. The repercussions of having poorly translated contracts or ineptly interpreted depositions can be immense. For these and other legal situations, the assistance of qualified interpreters and translators is not only helpful but mandated by law in the United States (Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990).
