This site contains materials designed to help attorneys acting in a pro bono capacity on behalf of crime victims seeking to assert and enforce rights. 

Although the materials are carefully reviewed, and significant editorial enhancements have been provided by knowledgeable editors, in dealing with specific legal matters, attorneys should research and review original sources of authority.

Arizona Voice for Crime Victims does not make either express or implied warranties regarding the use of these materials. Each attorney must depend on his or her own research, knowledge of the law, and expertise in using or modifying these materials.

Drafting forms for court is essentially rendering legal advice.  No source can assume that responsibility, and this website  does not assume such responsibility.  It is intended to serve only as a guide for the practitioner, and assist in keeping the costs of representation low – an essential ingredient for the success and longevity of any pro bono effort.  The responsibility of preparing the forms and all other documents that are to be submitted to courts ultimately remain, and entirely rest with, the individual practitioner.

The forms in this website are suggestions only.  They have been carefully checked for conformity with the law as of the date of publication. Still, the facts of every case will necessarily require a variation or multiple variations from the forms presented in the binder.

It is our hope that all those who are dedicated to preserving and protecting the rights of crime victims in the criminal justice process will find these materials useful and helpful.  We sincerely thank all those who have chosen to dedicate their time and talents to this most worthy cause.
