Advocacy The Legal Network is unique in its comprehensive, wraparound approach and emphasis on victim advocacy, criminal justice coordination, and social service integration in conjunction with its legal services, increasing the victims’ comfort with the legal process and enhancing the ability for victims to receive all needed services in one location. Without the Legal Network approach, victims are forced to travel from place to place and agency to agency to receive needed criminal, civil, medical, and social services.
