Comment

The Final Report of the Minnesota Supreme Court Task Force on Racial Bias in the Judicial System (1993) recommends that all judicial forms and documents be drafted in easily translatable English, and be translated by approved legal translators into such additional languages as the State Court Administrator approves.  It is recommended that any criminal forms that are translated consist of both English and the additional language.
