The National Crime Victims Law Institute (NCVLI) connects crime victims with freelance attorneys fighting to defend their rights. They do this through their national network of legal clinics and their National Alliance of Victims' Rights Advocates (NAVRA). They also ensure that all lawyers and advocates can make the best case for the victims they serve by providing technical legal assistance in the form of legal research, writing and strategic advice. They also file amicus curiae (friends of the court) briefs in victims' rights cases nationwide. NCVLI rarely provides legal services directly to victims. When a victim contacts NCVLI, they work to connect that victim with support services in their area and find an attorney in their pro bono group who is willing to provide free or low-cost legal services to focus on active criminal cases and to protect the rights of victims in investigation, prosecution and sentencing. They will then work with these volunteer attorneys to ensure quality advocacy on behalf of the victim.
