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.
