Paul Uyehara's article "Making Legal Services Accessible to Limited English Proficient Clients" identifies common deficiencies found in service delivery to LEP clients and then suggests ways legal services providers can improve access through setting policy, training staff, and utilizing language services. Drawing on his work with the Language Access Project at Community Legal Services in Philadelphia, Uyehara emphasizes the need for legal services providers to make a proactive effort and enhance program capabilities to ensure LEP clients receive high-quality legal services.
