Customer Reviews

Great reference book for translators

Every judiciary interpreter and translator (English-Spanish) should have this reference book. It conveys the most important features of the American Legal System in Spanish and English. Because the language is nontechnical is an excellent introduction for language professionals seeking specialization in legal translations.

The Law and Your Legal Rights/La Ley y Sus Derechos Legales

The Law and Your Legal Rights should be part of every Hispanic family's personal library. The book provides an easy to understand guide to the rights and responsibilities of all U.S. residents. Its explanation of the U.S. court systems is clear and concise, as well as its narrative of immigration and labor laws. The book's ability to "speak" in two languages--English and Spanish-- is one of its best features since it will help imigrants to obtain a basic understanding of their obligations and rights. Jess Araujo, Esq., has provided the Spanish speaking American with a valuable tool. The book should be read by all American students in middle school and/or high school.
