WE ADVOCATED FOR TRAUMA-INFORMED DISCOVERY LAWS AND WE'RE HEARD! THANK YOU GOVERNOR HOCHUL FOR YOUR LISTENING!
LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW SISTERS IN PURPLE ADVOCATED FOR THE NEW DISCOVERY LAWS!
ADVOCADY FOR LEGISLATIVE CHANGE
In meetings with Governor Hochul and other officials, Sisters In Purple highlighted how New York's previous discovery laws retraumatized survivors and led to the dismissal of domestic violence cases.
IMPACT ON THE 2025 REFORMS
Advocacy from Sisters in Purple was a major factor in the passage of the 2025 amendments to the discovery laws. These amendments addressed issues such as automatic dismissal of cases over minor technicalities and protection of sensitive information.
