GS&A Represents Safe Horizon as Amicus Curiae
GS&A is honored to represent Safe Horizon as amicus curiae before New York’s Appellate Division, First Judicial Department, in an appeal that considers the reach of New York’s Anti-SLAPP statute. Safe Horizon is the country’s largest non-profit victim services agency for survivors of sexual violence. Safe and equitable access to the legal system without fear of retribution are at the heart of Safe Horizon’s mission and history, and, over the decades, it has led coalitions of advocates, survivors, and lawmakers to urge New York to remove barriers to justice for victims of violence and abuse.
GS&A files a class action against NYC Transit Authority
GS&A filed a class action in the Eastern District of New York, alleging that the New York City Transit Authority systematically discriminates against employees with disabilities, in violation of federal, state, and city law. Anti-discrimination laws require employers to work closely and expeditiously with employees who make a reasonable accommodation request due to a disability. However, before engaging in this cooperative dialogue with its employees, the NYCTA requires that they submit to multiple unnecessary medical examinations, which can delay a final decision on their request for reasonable accommodation up to a year. That’s illegal. To learn more about the case, please contact raudain@gslawny.com.
New York Cash Bail Seizures
GS&A has filed a class action against the State and City of New York for illegally seizing cash bails. Bail money can only be forfeited if a judge makes a finding on the record that the person’s absence is without a reasonable excuse and then issues a forfeiture order. The State and City have been violating that mandate. In case after case, bail has been deemed forfeit by court administrators, without a judicial order. By taking it upon themselves to issue forfeiture orders, court administrators are depriving the Fund and class members of a meaningful opportunity to be heard, creating an unacceptable risk of error, and subverting basic safeguards against arbitrary deprivations. They are also subverting the judicial process by making it impossible to create a complete record necessary for meaningful appellate review. This practice violates the State Constitution.
