Summary
This document is an excerpt from a 2007 Utah Law Review article or legal filing, produced as part of a House Oversight investigation (likely related to the Epstein case given David Schoen's involvement). It discusses the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and argues for a new rule (Rule 44.1) allowing courts discretionary authority to appoint counsel for victims. The text analyzes Judge Kenna's interpretation of the CVRA and cites various legal precedents and statutes supporting the inherent authority of courts to appoint counsel.
