ASSEMBLY PASSES JONES BILL TO
EXPAND ACCESS TO COURT INTERPRETERS
June 1, 2009
(SACRAMENTO) - As the Assembly approaches its deadline to pass bills out of its house of origin, today there was a victory for those who need interpreting services in civil court. AB 663, by Assemblymember Dave Jones (D-Sacramento), would provide interpreters to people needing language assistance in California civil courts. The measure establishes limited pilot programs across the state to provide a court-appointed interpreter when parties need language assistance in critical civil cases and are unable to afford the cost of a private interpreter.
"Access to justice is a bedrock principle of our democracy, yet there are many Californians for whom language is an insurmountable barrier to the courts. Seven million Californians cannot access court services without significant language assistance and cannot effectively participate in court proceedings without a qualified interpreter," explained Jones.
The courts do not currently provide interpreters for most civil cases. For Californians who need language assistance, the prospect of navigating the legal system is daunting, especially for the growing number of people in our family courts and other cases who have no choice but to appear in court without an interpreter. The court system suffers if court orders are based on incomplete or erroneous information, or if the parties cannot understand and comply with court orders.
AB 663 is sponsored by the Judicial Council, the policy-making body of the California court system, and the State Bar of California. The bill is supported by Asian Americans for Civil Rights & Equality (AACRE), California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation (CRLAF) the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and numerous other legal aid, civil rights and community based organizations. It now moves to the State Senate where it is expected to be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee later this month.

Chapman Law School's Spring 2009 On-Campus Interview (OCl) program
We would like you to participate Chapman Law School's Spring 2009 On-Campus Interview (OCl) program. This year's interviews will be held from August 24 - October 30, 2009. We encourage
all employers with summer associate or law clerk openings (paid or unpaid) to use the OCI program as a means of filling these positions.
Chapman Law, founded in 1995, received its full accreditation by the American Bar Association in record speed in August 2002 and attained membership in the prestigious American Association of Law Schools in January 2006. The school is led by an enthusiastic and talented faculty educated at premier law schools and includes a Nobel Laureate and four former law clerks to United States Supreme Court Justices. We are also pleased to announce that for the third consecutive year, our bar passage rate has risen. In addition, we continue to rank among the nation's best law schools in Princeton Review's Best 174 Law Schools, 2009 Edition. Chapman retained its Top 10 status in the "Quality of 1.ife (#3),"
"Professors Rock (Legally Speaking) (#7)," and "Best Classroom Experience (#3)" categories. More importantly, Chapman added a fourth Top 10 category to its roster-"Most Diverse Faculty," debuting at #9. Our newest Top 10 ranking demonstrates the significant effort Chapman has undertaken to have one of the most ideologically diverse law faculties in the country. Now only Northwestern and Stanford have placed in more Top 10 categories, with six and five placements, respectively.
Chapman Law students and graduates have been recruited by a wide array of employers, including large national law firms, government agencies, and corporations. Twenty-six of our graduates have served as judicial clerks, with positions ranging from state appellate courts to federal bankruptcy courts and
federal district courts. To better acquaint you with Chapman Law and its students, we have enclosed some materials for your review.
To participate in Chapman's OCI program, please return the Employer Registration Form enclosed in this packet by July 1, 2009. If we can provide you with any further information about Chapman Law or its students, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to assist you with your recruitment needs.
Sincerely,
Jay Levine, Ph.D.

Protect your permanent resident clients from being removed under a deportation or inadmissibility ground using the expert analysis and framework for representation contained in this manual.
Designed as a "how to" manual, Remedies and Strategies for Permanent Resident Clients provides clear, concise, and detailed explanations of the grounds of removal permanent residents are most likely to face; when the grounds of inadmissibility and deportation do and don't apply; how to argue that they don't apply, and the immigration remedies available for each. It also discusses our tips for working with clients to elicit the evidence necessary to successfully defend their cases.
This manual contains detailed chapters on the grounds of deportability and inadmissibility, as well as the most common remedies for those charged with removability for crimes: LPR cancellation of removal (Chapter 4), former § 212(c) relief (Chapter 5), and relief under § 212(h) of the Immigration & Nationality Act (Chapter 6). It also contains a Chapter devoted to the comparison of LPR cancellation of removal and §212(h) relief (Chapter 7), and a summary of other, less common remedies for permanent resident clients (Chapter 8). Finally, it contains a separate chapter on detention, (Chapter 9) and a chapter on how to work with clients to obtain the best evidence in their cases (Chapter 10).
Throughout the manual, we also emphasize that termination of removal proceedings is the best remedy for the permanent resident client, and that whether or not a client has a claim to U.S. citizenship should never be ignored.
