MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2001 The Alaska Supreme Court on Friday heard arguments in two lawsuits challenging the state's English-only law. Both suits represent various Alaska Native interests. One was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Native American Rights Fund while the other represents the Yupik village of Togiak. Both suits contend the law infringes of free speech by requiring state business to be conducted in English. But the state claims individuals don't have a right to make the government speak his or her own particular language. Get the Story:
