Amicus Support Victim Restitution - Brief Filed in Supreme
Court
By James R. Marsh on December 21, 2012
Today, the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) moved for leave
to file, as amicus curiae, this brief in support of the Marsh Law
Firm's recent Petition for a Writ of Certiorari concerning whether the
Mandatory Restitution for Sexual Exploitation of Children Statute, 18
U.S.C. § 2259, excuses a defendant from paying restitution for the
itemized loss categories unless there is proof that the victim’s
losses were the proximate result of an individual defendant’s child
pornography crime.
NCVLI is a nonprofit educational and advocacy organization located at
Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. NCVLI’s mission is to
promote balance and fairness in the criminal justice system through
crime-victim centered legal advocacy, education, and resource sharing.
NCVLI actively participates as amicus curiae in cases involving
victims’ rights nationwide. In particular, NCVLI seeks to highlight
the difficulties that children who have been sexually exploited and
filmed face in procuring restitution under federal law, and to explain
the remedies that Congress crafted to help them over-come these
hurdles.
