N2  - This article, based upon the personal experiences of the author, explores the implications for the client, counselor, and client-counselor relationship when the client initiates legal action against a perpetrator of sexual assault. Understanding the legal system, testifying in court, and the psychological effects of the sexual assault as impacted by the legal process are examples of the issues raised in the article. Ethical issues relating to treatment are discussed. Recommendations for the counselor's self-care are also presented.<p />
