Description
This is supplemental data from a study exploring a critical and highly language-dependent component of the criminal-legal system that has not been fully investigated, specifically, the attorney-client relationship and communication that occurs within it. Using a cross-sectional, descriptive census survey design, this exploratory study investigates whether public defenders notice the characteristics of language disorders among their clients, how they interpret and respond to any resulting communication challenges, and whether communication challenges interfere with their ability to serve their clients.
