Campus Violence Legal Connection

Free and confidential help for college students attending schools in the Capital Region.

Our Campus Violence Legal Connection program serves campus survivors of sexual violence, stalking, dating, and domestic violence in Albany, Schenectady, Rensselaer, and Saratoga Counties. All of our program services are free and confidential.  Contact us by telephone at (518) 435-1770 or by email at cvlc@legalproject.org 


The Campus Violence Legal Connection (CVLC) provides a comprehensive range of free holistic civil legal services to anyone who has experienced sexual assault, stalking, and/or dating violence while attending college. Legal areas include safety, education, employment, housing, privacy, and much more.

We work to ensure that all students who experience sexual violence, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, identity, nationality or ability, are treated equitably and have the opportunity to seek the justice they deserve.


When should you speak with a lawyer?


The Campus Violence Legal Connection offers free and confidential consultations with attorneys who can listen to your concerns surrounding sexual assault and stalking to help your figure out what avenues the law gives you for protection and remedies. Our lawyers can do anything from simply answering legal questions to help you understand the academic hearing pr criminal process to offering representation in certain areas if that is what you decide to do.


Meeting with a Campus Violence Legal Connection attorney will give you the legal information you need in order to make decisions on how to proceed.


All programs and services have specific eligibility requirements.  Please call us for more information at (518) 435-1770.
