August 2007

Community Legal Services, Inc of Philadelphia developed the National Language Access Advocates Network (N-LAAN), a closed listserv and incipient organization for public interest lawyers with an interest in language access issues.  Through N-LAAN members communicate about language access problems they encounter as advocates as well as issues they deal with as legal services providers.  N-LAAN presented a training track dedicated to language access matters at the 2006 NLADA Annual Conference and is working on sessions for the 2007 Annual Conference.   N-LAAN members have had a presence at many NLADA, EJC and other conferences and trainings concentrating on language and related issues. To be a part of the N-LAAN listserv please email Paul M. Uyehara at puyehara@clsphila.org
