This article discusses the challenges deaf people face in the court system and the progress made in providing better access to justice.
The authors, Sue O'Rourke and Chantelle de la Croix, argue that while interpretation services have improved, more can be done to make courts deaf-friendly. They propose steps like increased awareness among court staff, video recording of deaf evidence, and wider use of Deaf Intermediaries who understand deaf culture and communication needs.
