Purpose
The Indiana Supreme Court is committed to providing meaningful, fair, and effective language access in Indiana courts and actively works to improve access to the state courts for limited English proficient (LEP) individuals and those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The Language Access Advisory Committee was developed from the former Advisory Task Force on Language Access in Indiana Courts. The Committee was created on April 29, 2019 by the Indiana Supreme Court to address the issue of providing effective, fair, and efficient language access in Indiana courts, and to present findings and recommendations to the Indiana Supreme Court on the best method to meet that challenge within Indiana’s judicial system.
