Crime Victim Law Conference

To secure a place for crime victims as participants with a legally recognized voice requires cultural change and education is a key step in this process. The Crime Victim Law Conference is the only conference on rights enforcement in the country. This is an invaluable opportunity for professionals serving victims to acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide effective services to victims and to reform the criminal justice system.

The overarching purpose of the 2011 Conference was to celebrate 10 years of litigation successes while recognizing emerging challenges to victims’ rights. To this end, the Conference featured 5 plenary sessions and 24 breakout sessions addressing topics of critical importance to the victims’ rights community, taught by leading victim law experts from across the country.
