Spanish for Lawyers | EP. 1: Criminal Law; Immigration Law

Hosted by TYLA District 19 Director Julia Rubio, the debut episode of TYLA’s Spanish for Lawyers Podcast features a discussion with Laredo attorneys Omar Villarreal and Marina Brizuela about the importance of being bilingual while practicing law in South Texas. The practitioners highlight how understanding cultural nuances and colloquialisms, such as the term muela del juicio (wisdom tooth), is just as vital as mastering technical legal terminology in Spanish. The episode concludes with a mock consultation where the attorneys demonstrate how to explain the criminal and immigration consequences of a theft charge to a Spanish-speaking client.🎧 Listen at the link below or on any podcast platform: https://tyla.org/resource/spanish-for-lawyers-podcast/.Want to jump to a specific segment?
