French Language Rights in Courts

English and French languages have been struggling for dominance in Canada for a long time. Those who want French to be the primary language of the country insist that non-speakers can render French to English translation services if they have been presented with a document that they do not understand. With the assistance of translators they have no reason to insist on the presentation of the material in English. In July 2013 the Canadian Supreme Court refused to pass a law that would require all court documents to be in the French language. Therefore, professional French translation won’t be necessary for pieces that will be submitted to courts in Canada. This ruling will have implications about the role of English and French in other parts of the country.

Although in the United States the role of the French language is less controversial in the legal system, many individuals within the country seek French translation services for various purposes.
