Improving Legal Access for Spanish Speakers – Law students at The University of Arizona
Tagged: Arizona, population, Professor, student, University of ArizonaPosted on: November 1st, 2007
Law students at The University of Arizona have paired up with undergraduates in the translation and interpretation studies program.
The match will help the James E. Rogers College of Law to expand its Domestic Violence Law Clinic to offer services to Spanish speakers, while also providing both groups of students with practical pre-graduation knowledge in a practicum setting.
Increased immigration, the rising Hispanic population and demand for more Spanish language interpreters drove the need for the collaboration, said Jaime Fatás, an assistant professor for the practice of translation and interpretation in the Spanish and Portuguese department.”*
