Bonnie Baker Publishes Article on Preemption and the Limitations of Claim Revival for Sexual Assault

The New York Law Journal published an article written by Friedman Kaplan counsel Bonnie M. Baker describing the significance of the recent U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York decision in Parker v. Alexander. On January 22, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan determined that New York’s Adult Survivors Act and Child Victims Act largely preempt New York City’s law reviving time-barred sexual assault claims through its amendment to the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law. In the article, Bonnie examines Judge Kaplan’s preemption analysis and how the decision supports the strong public policy favoring statutes of limitations.
