Summary Angermeyer presents a study of interpreter-mediated interaction in New York City small claims courts, drawing on audiorecorded arbitration hearings and ethnographic fieldwork. Focusing on the language use of speakers of Haitian Creole, Polish, Russian, or Spanish, the study explores how these litigants make use of their limited proficiency in English, in addition to communicating with the help of professional court interpreters.
