Interpreters Accuse L.A. Superior of Racism

07-03-09

California, USA (Courthouse News): A Los Angeles Superior Court interpreter filed a class action claiming the court subjects her and other interpreters to racial discrimination, saying their foreign national origins are "highlighted by the nature of their work." Alicia Grubic sued the court, presiding Judge Stephen Czuleger and head clerk John Clarke, claiming the court pays interpreters less than other court employees and keeps them from advancing, because interpreters are "overwhelmingly non-native-born members of minority national/ethnic groups." Grubic says court supervisors associate and identify interpreters with the "foreign-born monolingual criminal defendants" they work with.
