Parallel Justice returns… Remastered, refined, and more urgent than ever.

This trauma-informed and survivor-centered podcast takes listeners inside the civil cases connected to the criminal headlines that shaped our culture. Each episode features nationally recognized attorneys who pursued accountability beyond the criminal courtroom and worked to create systemic change.

This is not true crime for entertainment. It is a thoughtful examination of how civil justice works, where the system falls short, and how survivors can seek accountability through the courts.

In this new season, we spotlight headline cases, emerging safety crises, and the legal strategies that continue to reshape public safety and institutional responsibility.

From high-profile cases to emerging safety crises, Parallel Justice offers a clear-eyed look at how civil litigation creates change long after the headlines fade.

Parallel Justice is produced by the National Center for Victims of Crime, a leading advocate for victims’ rights and survivor support nationwide.
