The National Center for Victims of Crime in conjunction with the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and the Missouri Victim Assistance Network 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 Missouri, 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 Missouri law.
The seminar runs from 9:00 am to 4:30 p.m. It will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd at the headquarters of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited, so register today.
