Crime Victim Litigation Clinic (CVLC)

Throughout the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024, Crime Victim Litigation Clinic students engaged in significant legal work nationwide.

Throughout the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024, Crime Victim Litigation Clinic students engaged in significant legal work nationwide. For one major project, students researched a New Hampshire constitutional amendment that protects individuals’ personal information and explored its implications for cases involving crime victims’ privileged mental health records. Another key effort focused on supporting victim advocates in Alaska. They researched state laws and developed arguments to protect advocates’ privacy during public hearings, ensuring they could continue their crucial work without compromising their own confidentiality. These experiences provided invaluable hands-on learning in addressing complex legal issues affecting crime victims.

Yet, for some, the lessons of law apply more broadly, and the outcome of their law school education has been a surprising and successful career outside of law. Here are just a few of our alums who followed an alternative route.
