Victimhood & Agency: How Taking Charge Takes Its Toll, Pam A. Mueller
Victimhood & Agency: How Taking Charge Takes Its Toll, Pam A. Mueller
Pepperdine Law Review
This Article addresses an unexplored tension in the civil justice system regarding victims. The goal of the civil system is to make victims whole.
