Securing Justice For Crime Survivors: The Power Of Third-Party Civil Claims
When it comes to righting wrongs, the criminal justice system often falls short. Even cases that end with a conviction can leave survivors with tremendous emotional and financial burdens. The civil justice system offers a complementary pathway – one that allows for a greater scope of accountability and broader types of recourse. Civil claims against third parties can fill the gaps left by criminal proceedings and provide crime survivors with the closure they need.
Attorney Roxanne Conlin has dedicated her life to advocating for crime survivors and others who have been wronged. As a former assistant attorney general for Iowa and one of the first women to serve as a United States attorney, she has left a profound impact on the legal landscape. Over many decades, a major focus of her work has involved advocating for crime survivors in third party civil claims.
