Preferred term

United States federal landmark victim-related court cases  

Definition(s)

  • The United States Supreme Court and the federal appellate courts have decided many landmark victim-related cases since the 1980s. In the U.S. legal system, laws have little practical meaning without judicial interpretation; therefore, case law is crucial to our understanding of the contours of victims' legal rights and remedies.
