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 1 GENERAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION Conference Location The Conference is at the Oregon Convention Center, located at 777 NE MLK Blvd. in Portland, Oregon.
