Civil Justice for Victims of Crime in California

The National Center for Victims of Crime, in conjunction with the
Office of the Attorney General: Victims' Services Unit, the California
Emergency Management Agency, and the California Coalition Against Sexual
Assault, will be offering a free training seminar for criminal justice
practitioners, victim advocates, mental health therapists and other
allied professionals.


The seminar, Civil Justice for Victims of Crime in California, will
explore how victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking,
child sex abuse, drunk driving, homicide, workplace violence, terrorism,
nursing home abuse, and financial and property crimes can use civil
lawsuits to obtain justice, hold responsible parties accountable,
prevent future crimes, and obtain the financial resources victims need
to rebuild their lives.  The program will cover resources and strategies
for victims considering civil lawsuits, and will include a panel of
attorneys to answer specific questions of California law.

The seminar runs from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m. It will be held at the
Oakland Conference Center at The California Endowment on Monday, April
16th; the Lincoln Law School in Sacramento on April 18th; and the
Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa on Friday, April 20th.  Continental
breakfast and a complimentary lunch will be provided.

There is no cost to attend, but space is limited, so please reserve
your space today.
