NCVLI's 9th Annual Crime Victim Law Conference will focus on securing fairness for crime victims. In law, fairness requires both procedural and substantive due process. This means that the law must be applied fairly to all, procedural safeguards must be afforded before a decision is taken that could affect a citizen's right, and each person's fundamental rights must be protected throughout the process.
2009 Conference Recap The 2009 Crime Victim Law Conference was a tremendous success, with more than 150 attorneys, advocates, law enforcement personnel, law students, psychologists, and other criminal justice professionals in attendance – making the 2009 Conference the largest to date! The Conference brought together key individuals from across the country to both learn from each other and to work together to develop the tools necessary to advance victims’ rights and reform the criminal justice system. Thanks to all who made the Conference such a tremendous success!
