vindicator

It confers on the plaintiff the status of a vindicator of rights, and it puts on notice those who are, or might contemplate, acting on incorrect interpretations of the law.

Intuitively, progressives might seem the likely vindicators of workers’ interests.

And they did so deliberately, they believed they were fighting for God: Deo vindice was their motto, "God the vindicator" or "God the defender."

John Adams described just such a foreign policy when he wrote that America is “the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all” but “the champion and vindicator only of her own.”

It’s time for a new hashtag that transforms us from victims to vindicators.
