Lost in Translation: Persons with Limited English Proficiency and Police
Interaction in the United States
Anastasia Coppersmith ...........................................................................1
This article explores United States jurisprudence of the constitutionality
of language rights as it correlates to communications between law
enforcement officials and non-English speaking persons in emergency
situations. The judicial and legislative bodies provide protections to limited-
English speaking minorities in the realms of education, healthcare, and when
navigating through the United States court system. However, these
protections are not extended to include interactions between language-
minority citizens and initial police interactions during emergency situations.
