Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles

The Justice Department announced that it has reached an agreement with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (LASC) to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) court users will have access to timely and accurate language assistance services.

The agreement resolves a Justice Department investigation of a complaint filed by the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.  The complaint alleged that LASC failed to provide LEP individuals with meaningful access to its court services, including civil proceedings and court operations, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its implementing regulations, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of national origin.
