This will be the 11th Annual Crime Victim Law Conference, marking the start of the second decade of dedicated rights enforcement in this country.  This Conference continues to be the only national conference in the country focusing on rights enforcement in criminal cases, which is a critical but often overlooked component of holistic victim services.  The Conference provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide effective legal services to victims of crime. The Conference will take place June 8-9, 2012 in Portland, Oregon.

The purpose of the 2012 Conference, themed Enhancing Justice: Empowerment Through Victims’ Rights, is to recognize that each victim has unique needs, and that we must respond to those needs to empower each victim and enhance justice.  The audience of the Conference is a growing community of attorneys, advocates, allied professionals, law students, professors, and victims/survivors that understands rights enforcement and will engage in a multi-disciplinary national conversation on how victims’ rights can empower victims and broaden the horizons of our justice system.  To achieve this purpose, the Conference will feature plenary sessions and breakout sessions addressing topics of critical importance to the victims’ rights community, taught by leading experts from across the country.
