About The ABA Spanish Legal Phrasebook
Accurate communication between professionals and clients is critical. This is of particular concern when there are language and cultural differences. While many Spanish-language phrasebooks are available, most are geared to the travel market. This book is designed specifically for professionals who need to communicate with Spanish speakers about U.S. law.
This pocket-sized guide identifies common American legal phrases and concepts and provides accurate Spanish translations. The book is divided into sections based on substantive areas of law including criminal law, family law, labor and employment law, personal injury and medical malpractice, immigration, bankruptcy, and business law. In addition, a handy pronunciation guide makes communication a breeze. Whether or not you are bi-lingual, if you have Spanish-speaking clients, this book is the one reference you'll use every day to improve your client communications.

What Others Are Saying...
"There is a significant unmet need for legal services in our Spanish-speaking communities all across the nation. A contributing factor is the language barrier that can critically impede attorney-client communication. In response, the ABA is developing a series of bilingual resources that will assist all lawyers in providing effective legal counsel to Spanish speakers. I am proud to announce that the first book in that series, The ABA Spanish Legal Phrasebook, has just been published. This book is designed specifically for professionals who need to communicate with Spanish speakers about U.S. law." -- ABA President Stephen N. Zack
"The ABA Spanish Legal Phrasebook provides just the right words and phrases for eight separate areas of the law. This useful -- and portable -- volume means lawyers wont be at a loss for words with their Spanish-speaking clients." -Kathryn M. Kase, Senior Staff Attorney, Trial Project & Managing Attorney, Houston Office, Texas Defender Service
