Introduction The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman (1997), is a book that details the complicated journey of Lia Lee and her family, who were Hmong refugees living in Merced, California. Lia had a severe form of epilepsy that caused her to have many hospital visits and interactions with the health care system, where she received subpar care because of the language and cultural differences between the health care providers and her Hmong family. This paper will identify one social issue illuminated by Fadiman's (1997) case study and suggest one practice and one policy change at each of the micro, mezzo, and macro system levels. Furthermore, each social issue and corresponding practice and policy change is tied to the central

As the ordeal of the Vilca family reveals, the lack of experienced interpreters is less of a problem in federal courts because interpreters must pass a competitive test. As shown in the graphic below, many states require that interpreters take a test to demonstrate their language skills, to be certified, yet many state certification tests are basic in comparison to those at the federal level. Also, several state and local courts allow uncertified interpreters to serve even if they haven’t passed the test because there are so many U.S. residents who have limited proficiency in English and pass through the judicial system. As per the U.S. Census Bureau, half of the 8.5 million people living in New York City speak a language other than English

When talking to an individual that needs an interpreter, you should talk directly to them and not their interpreter. This is important because you do not want to leave the person you are having a conversation with out of the conversation. If a situation comes up where you catch yourself talking to the interpreter it is totally acceptable to apologize and move on as if it never happened.

Today (February 4th, 2016), I was placed in Courtroom 4C of the courthouse and instructed to sit-in and observe every case brought forward to the judge today. I have to say, some of the cases I heard about today were not your real average day cases. One thing one of my supervisors; Vinny, told me to look out for was the the college/high school students who got in trouble for underage possession because they stick-out like a sore thumb in the courthouse. He said you can tell which ones they are based on the way they are dressed and how nervous they look when they are sitting and waiting for their case to be heard. Vin was not wrong, once the room was open for people to come in, I saw a group of 5-6 college-age students walk in very well dressed and most of them came in with one or two parents next to them. Throughout the day, some of the cases brought forward to the judge

After the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers, 5th SFG (A) deployed to Afghanistan to conduct combat operations. SF operators conducted tactical mission that did not require much interaction with locals, most communication between SF operators and locals were being conducted through the use of vetted interpreters. Only studies could show if the use of interpreters helped the effectiveness in which 5th Group achieved their tactical operations, but I’m sure the lack of interpreters would delay the ability to gather required information in order to find and fix a target. I only say delay because

The courts of the United Kingdom are institutions there are aim justice to all and deliver fair and equal trails. Although ‘fair and equal’ are not always true to some cases along with ‘justice to all’. Never the less either convicting someone for unlawful activity or resolving a civil dispute, the British legal system employs a variety of courts in its application of the law. It much reminds me of my home country the United States the different level of courts I mean.
