1999 Samuel J. Duboff Memorial Award
The 1999 Duboff Award
was presented on April 5, 2000 to the volunteers of My Sister's
Place, a full-service battered women's organization in Westchester
County. More than 120 people were in attendance to hear New York
State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer deliver opening remarks and
present the award.
Immediately
following the award presentation, there was a panel discussion devoted
to the "Domestic Violence Cases and the Courts: Strategies
and Results in Addressing Unseen Injuries." Panelists
included Hon. Joan Cooney, the Supervising Judge of the Westchester
County Family Courts; Gretchen Mullins Kim, Legal Director
for My Sisters' Place; Lisi Lord, Assistant Executive Director of
My Sisters' Place; and Jayne, a domestic violence survivor.
The event was made possible by the generosity of ITT Industries.
