 *Language Access Need*
 Roughly 20 percent of Californians—nearly 7 million—have some
 English-language limitations, making it difficult to access the courts
 without significant language assistance. To help address this need, the
 Judicial Council adopted the Strategic Plan for Language Access in the
 California Courts [5], which provides a consistent statewide approach to
 ensure language access for all 
 limited-English speakers.
