WELCOME!

Welcome to the 2018 Crime Victim Law Conference!

Victims have been afforded statutory and constitutional rights for decades. Too often, however, the rights are mere words on paper and the promise of a better system remains unfulfilled. Victims should not have to wait any longer. That is why this year NCVLI is committed to Unlocking the Power of Rights for Victims. We will not stand by while rights are ignored; we will be bold, living the mantra “If the law does not explicitly tell me I cannot do something for a victim then I CAN DO IT!”; and we will challenge negative court decisions to the highest courts. The rights exist in law . . . together we need to make them meaningful! Let’s use litigation, education and public policy to unlock their power. This Conference is a key piece of the effort.

The Conference features four plenaries and thirty-three breakout sessions taught by leading experts from across the country addressing a range of victims’ rights topics, including advocating for victims in the military, serving victims with disabilities, advocating post- conviction, fundamentals of motion practice and more. Throughout the two days participants will have the chance to learn from each other so that together we can better protect victims’ rights and thereby achieve justice.

The first Crime Victim Law Conference was held in 2002. That year, fifty-two people registered for the Conference, most knew each other and were already involved in the victims’ rights enforcement movement. Over the years, the Conference has grown substantially and continues to be the only national conference focused on victims’ legal rights. This year, more than 400 participants are in attendance! Participants include attorneys, advocates, law students, survivors, psychologists, law enforcement personnel and others committed to improving the justice system for survivors. The network of individuals dedicated to victims’ rights continues to expand, and we encourage you to take the opportunity to connect with new and existing colleagues as we continue to grow and enhance this important community.

We look forward to engaging in conversation with you over the next two days!

www.ncvli.org 35 ABOUT NCVLI

BASICS Founded in 2000, the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) is a nonprofit research, education and advocacy organization located in Portland, Oregon, at Lewis & Clark Law School.

MISSION To actively promote balance and fairness in the justice system through crime victim centered legal advocacy, education, and resource sharing.

VISION A society in which every right of every crime victim is honored in every case. A society where: • Every crime victim has comprehensive and meaningful legal rights and can access a knowledgeable attorney for representation; • Every crime victim’s attorney has access to education, training, and technical support from a community of experts; • Everyone in the justice system is knowledgeable about and respects the legal rights of crime victims; and • Crime victims’ rights are routinely enforced to facilitate meaningful participation in the justice system.

VALUES NCVLI’s work is guided by the following values: • Building a system that supports victims’ rights requires participation of crime victims in achieving the mission. • Enhancing fairness and justice requires a process of social change, which is built on a balanced approach of three efforts: legal advocacy, training & education, and public policy.

TOOLS NCVLI uses a myriad of tools to achieve its mission and vision; key among these are: • Legal Advocacy. We fight for victims’ rights by filing amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs in victims’ rights cases nationwide. Through our National Alliance of Victims’ Rights Attorneys & Advocates (NAVRA), we pair crime victims with no or low cost attorneys and advocates and then work to ensure that these individuals can make the best arguments possible by providing legal technical assistance in the form of legal research, writing and strategic consultation. • Training & Education. We train nationwide on the meaning, scope, and enforceability of victims’ rights through in-person and technology-assisted courses. We also host the only conference in the country focused on victim law. • Public Policy. We work with partners nationwide to secure the next wave of victims’ rights legislation; legislation that guarantees victims substantive rights and the procedural mechanisms to secure those rights.
