Hundreds of thousands of immigrants enter the United States each
year, and the number appearing in U.S. courts is rising in many
states. Immigrants in Courts addresses immigrants' access to
justice in the United States and the procedural obstacles they
face. Immigrants' cultural and linguistic dilemmas in court are
explored through their words and the reports of judges, attorneys,
and court interpreters. Techniques for responding to the
predicament are examined in this readable and informative text
developed by the Washington State Supreme Court's Office of the
Administrator for the Courts.
Immigrants in Courts provides judges, court staff, and advocates
with ready information about the legal and cultural systems under
which many immigrants grew up. Legal experts discuss the legal
systems of four countries -- China, Mexico, Russia, and Vietnam --
and of the Muslim world. They explore not only how the law appears
on the books but how the general population perceives its legal
system and how those perceptions affect expectations in the new
country.
