Summary
This document is a page from a legal filing (likely submitted by David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee) citing a law review article (104 J. Crim. L. & Criminology). It presents a legal argument regarding the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), specifically arguing that victims' rights should 'attach' during the investigative phase before formal charges are filed. It critiques the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) opposition to this view and cites the case *United States v. Rubin* (2008) to define the logical limits of when these rights begin.
