Crime Victims Advocacy Program
Victimization can create a myriad of civil legal problems and intensify pre-existing challenges faced by victims and their families. Without legal representation, these complex legal issues can be overwhelming for victims of crime to navigate alone.
The Equal Justice Works Crime Victims Advocacy Program (CVAP) is mobilizing a cohort of attorney Fellows to increase access to legal aid for survivors of crime, especially in underserved black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) communities.
