This glossary was written with the special purpose of providing Navajo interpreters with a comprehensible grasp of English legal or other terms, and to provide the equivalent word or phrase in Navajo that can be used in the interpretation process. It is envisioned that this glossary will be useful not only to federal, state and local courts, but to other agencies, educational institutions, research organizations, scholars and members of the public who have a special interest in this area.
