Access to Justice for Victims: An Introduction to VLN for Summer Associates

Join Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC) to discuss how you can support victims of crime in accessing justice! Findings from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)’s strategic planning initiative, Vision 21, strongly indicated a critical need for comprehensive, wraparound, no-cost legal services for victims of all crime types. Vision 21 led to the eventual creation legal networks throughout the country, including the Victim Legal Network of DC (VLNDC). VLNDC was created with the ultimate goal of alleviating the legal obstacles that crime victims face after a criminal victimization by creating a seamless network of high-quality, well-trained legal services providers in the areas of criminal representation, civil law, and administrative proceedings. Learn more about why every pro bono lawyer in DC needs to know about VLNDC and how it can support survivors accessing justice by joining our webinar.
