Victims’ rights are critical to justice. As is true of all rights, however, victims’ rights cannot be truly meaningful until they are enforced in our courts. While victims can assert their rights pro se (i.e., by themselves), victims fare much better when they have an attorney advocating for them.
Because the legal assertion of victims’ rights is an emerging field, the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) is committed to aiding each lawyer working with survivors to ensure the strategic development of positive case law. We can provide sample pleadings, provide national research, assist with litigation strategy, submit amicus curiae briefs and much more.
