• Too many Latinos encounter significant legal entanglements as they take their
first steps in this new environment.
• As they seek jobs, and establish
homes for their families, few are familiar with the the legal “do’s and don’ts”
of their new surroundings.
•
Even more than delinquents, law-abiding individuals are often victimized
by the language barrier and a lack of information about the criminal
justice system.
•
Certified legal interpreters can help, when available, but there
are too few. This compromises the integrity of the judicial process,
and fair outcomes for those in need of services.
•
Education is the most effective antidote against inequality. Likewise,
TRIBUNALES provides a video roadmap through the criminal trial courts,
the process, and its impact on those involved; guided by a certified
legal interpreter.
• Recreated encounters with the
legal establishment are presented as a tutorial in Spanish, which English speakers are able to follow
through a companion CD in their language, upon request for a minimal charge.
