Beyond the Criminal Justice System

A reimagining of VRLC’s groundbreaking legal practice manual, Beyond the Criminal Justice System: Using the Law to Help Restore the Lives of Sexual Assault Victims, the sections below are designed for attorneys and legal program staff who represent survivors of sexual assault in criminal and civil legal matters. They can be used individually for guidance related to a particular practice area, component of representation, or survivor population – or together for a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the provision of holistic legal services for sexual assault survivors.
