BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF AMERICA ET AL. v. THE HONORABLE RANDALL WARNER ET AL./ BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF AMERICA ET AL. v. THE HONORABLE BRADLEY ASTROWSKY
February 24, 2022
Supreme Court of Arizona
Nos. 1 CA-SA 21-0221, 1 CA-SA 21-0223

In 2019, the Arizona General Assembly passed the Arizona Child Protection Act that revived sexual abuse claims for 19 months. Defendant in this case challenged, amongst other points, the constitutionality of the revival provision. CHILD USA wrote this amicus brief, arguing that the revival window reflected the science of delayed disclosure and is in line with the national trend of adopting civil revival laws for survivors of sexual abuse to remedy the injustice caused by unfairly short statutes of limitation. On February 24, 2022, the Court granted CHILD USA’s request to file the brief, although the Court ultimately decided against accepting the appeal. View their Minute Order here.
