Victim Rights Technical Assistance
Training, Technical Assistance & Amicus Support
NCVLI provides technical assistance, in the form of legal research and educational writing, and trainings to attorneys, advocates, judges, and legislatures. NCVLI also files amicus curiae briefs in select cases that present victims’ rights issues of broad importance. NCVLI does not provide legal advice or directly represent victims.
Did you know NCVLI attorneys spend an average of 16 hours on each technical assistance request? Each request is fielded by an expert legal team with more than 40 years of experience in victims’ rights litigation. The fair market value of this work that is provided free of charge is $4,160 PER request. We need your help to continue to provide this service.

Request Amicus Support
NCVLI participates as amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) in victims’ rights cases in state, federal, and military courts, when the issue the court is considering will have significant impacts on crime victims. We lend our expertise to elevate victims’ voices beyond a single case.
Request a Training
NCVLI trains on a variety of victim law issues from specific victims’ rights, such as the rights to privacy, protection, notice, presence, and to be heard; to core access to justice issues, such as securing language access and testimonial accommodations; to issues impacting specific victim populations, such as military-connected victims, victims of hate and bias crimes, and immigrant crime victims.
